Cofer's purpose of this story is to tell about the disrespect and cruel treatment of Latina women. I think her audience is anyone who will listen to her stories about her latina culture. Cofer desribes how men of all cultures stereotype Latina women as being a sexual firebrand. She wants people to know the bright, tight clothings is a cultural upbring from their mothers.
She talks about during her childhood, she was taught how to dress and present herself, how to be a proper senorita. Cofer describes going to school in her mother's finest and being judged by the nunns. She was marked as a negative model. At an early age she realized her cultural differences and how it effected her thoughout her life.
I believe that the Latina women were disrespected and treated as sexual objects in the workplace. Many latina women are usually looked at as being a lower class because of education and language barriers. Many latino women have proven that they are well educated and made a name for theirself in the world today.
