“most Latinos today can trace their genes to some variation of both Europeanness and Indigeneity. It means that many Latinos can pass as both “white” and “brown.” When the situation calls for it, they can prioritize their whiteness and erase the specificity of their Indigenousness. It means that even those generations of Latinos who have come of age in a United States that has systematically discriminated against them can still, somehow, legitimize their allegiance to white supremacy by way of their “Spanish blood.” It ultimately means that they can be a brown person in America yet look at themselves in the mirror and see a white, Spanish person in the reflection. In the end, that was what the Juan de Oñate statue that became a point of debate in 2020 represented to many Latinos: their ability to see their European reflection, to fantasize about who they were and who they aspired to be.”

“Being afraid doesn't make you a coward," I told Remy, echoing what Dr. Warren had told me all those years ago. "A coward wouldn't be here. A coward wouldn't share their fears. They would just go on pretending until they couldn't anymore. You--we-- can do anything the rest of them can do. A few differences in anatomy doesn't change our ability.”

“Remy ducked her head, and Jacatacqua shook hers. "We are human--man or woman should make no difference to what we can and cannot do."
"To women," Suzannah said, raising her cup of tea. "And what we can accomplish.”

“But Mom said no. I'll probably get in trouble."
I shrugged. "You're probably gonna get in trouble at some point today anyway. You may as well get a slushy out of it.”

“It wasn't easy to convince most women to venture toward gunfire in a snowstorm in the dark to find wounded, but a surprising number volunteered. These were not the wives of lords or wealthy merchants or generals but the wives of frontiersman, who were used to shouldering the burden of survival alongside their husbands.”
