Moraga is celebrated as "one of the most influential figures in Chicana/o, feminist, queer, and indigenous activism and scholarship."

Moraga’s plays and publications have received national recognition (United States Artist Rockefeller Felllowship for Literature-2007; a Creative Work Fund Award-2008; a Gerbode-Hewlett Foundation Grant for Playwriting-2009) for their critical and dramatic power to uncover the dynamics of concealment and potential in the lives of women of color. She was co-editor with Gloria Anzaldua of This Bridge Called My Back: Writings by Radical Women of Color (winner of the Before Columbus Book Award in 1986) and author of the now classic Loving in the War Years: Lo Que Nunca Paso por Sus Labios (1983/2003).
