This dissertation is an account of Chicana writer Cherrie Moragas recurrent themes of la fuerza femenina, the female god, and a hybrid religious influence—Christian, primarily Catholic, and Amerindian, primarily Mesoamerican, beliefs. As shown in this study, Moraga focuses on a woman-centered religiosity which includes the belief in a virgin or La virgen. The religious elements in Moragas works Giving Up the Ghost: Teatro en Two Acts (1986), Heroes and Saints (1994), Shadow of a Man (1994), The Hungry Woman: A Mexican Medea (2001), Watsonville/Circle in the Dirt (2002) are discussed and theorized resulting in parallels to pertinent points of Mujerista, Liberation, and Ecological Theologies.
