Abstract

This article is a dual testimonio of the doctoral experiences of two Latina doctoral candidates. It focuses on the context of the Hispanic community and the lack of Hispanic female representation in academia. It examines the influence of colonialism, sexism, racism, and socioeconomic disadvantages throughout their journey. These testimonios are a raw reflection of the struggle as a female, academic scholar, and human being within a boxed academic society.
