Hungry Woman by Cherrie Moraga
Cherrie Moraga takes on the myth of Medea in this Latin spin on the Greek tragedy. In the near future, Medea, a lesbian woman in exile from Aztlán, lives with lover Luna and son Chac-Mool in a North America that has collapsed into a collection of racially and homophobically Balkanized states. When her ex-husband, Jason, angles to get custody of his son for political reasons, Medea is consumed with the fear that he will turn her son against her. This time-honored tragic tale is told in a way that brings its continuing relevance to the fore and employs a stirring blend of Greek and Chicano mythology to make its point.
