Windows into the Soul:
Getting to know Ana Nogales,
Ph. D.
author of Latina Power!
Author Bio:
Ana Nogales is among the most
recognized and highly respected Latinas in the USA today. A
Ph.D. in psychology who also is a famed newspaper writer, radio
and TV personality, Dr. Nogales has dedicated her career to
helping the Latino community in the USA through her advice on
family, marriage, intimacy and on the uniqueness of being bicultural
in this country. Born and raised in Argentina, she brings her
special perspectives to the lives of Latinos in these United
States. In her most recent book written with Laura Golden Bellotti,
Latina Power!, Dr. Nogales focuses her attention on the
mujeres of the community telling the story of the Latina cultural
identity and the positive and negative stereotypes she confronts
in a society where the past denotes a culture much different
than the one she lives in today. Ana Nogales writes a weekly
column, "Aqui Entre Nos", for La Opinión,
and has been featured in Glamour, Cosmopolitan,
the Los Angeles Times, and on NBCNews and CNN
en Español. She is a clinical psychologist and founder
of Nogales Psychological Counseling, Inc., and she lives in
Orange County, California.
Latina Power!
In this empowering guide, Dr. Ana Nogales
encourages Latinas to move beyond their expected roles and become
the women they wish to be by embracing the seven traits they
inherit naturally from their latino culture:
Espiritu Creativo (Creative
Spirit)
The Aguantadora's (Survivor's)
Passionate Determination
The Comadre's (Girlfriend's)
Networking Ability
The Diplomática's
(Diplomat's) Discretion
The Altrevida's (Risktaker's)
Courage
The Malabarista's (Multitasker's)
Balance
La Reina's (A Diva's)
Confidence
Each chapter features an interactive
element, including a quiz to determine how strong each attribute
is in the reader's own personality, plus exercises to reinforce
each trait. Filled with the personal stories of successful Latinas,
including novelist Isabelle Allende, TV journalist
Cristina Saralegui, Congesswomen Loretta
Sánchez and Linda Sánchez,
Latina magazine founder Christy Haubegger,
and entertainer Jaci Velasquez, Latina Power!
inspires readers to vigorously pursue their own dreams
