- BIOGRAHPHICAL NOTE FROM INTERVIEWER: Corinne Sanchez was an activist in Hijas de Cuauhtemoc while she was a student at CSULB and was one of the founders of the La Raza newspaper. Later, from 1974-1978, she served as the Associate Director of the Chicana Service Action Center (CSAC). One of ten children in a very traditional family, Sanchez was outspoken from childhood. She attended San Bernardino Community College, 1965-1968, during which time she joined sororities. After she transferred to CSULB to major in PE, she became involved in UMAS and the creation of Chicano Studies. Sanchez joined with other women from UMAS (later MEChA) who formed Hijas de Cuauhtemoc. Nevertheless, in 1969, the divisiveness in the Chicano student movement at CSULB contributed to Sanchez's decision to drop out of college for one year. In 1974, Sanchez became the Associate Director of Chicana Service Action Center and remained there for four years until she went to law school. She joined El Proyecto del Barrio at that time; and, later, in 1992, she began her family law practice, focusing particularly on domestic violence.
