Teresa Palomo Acosta tvorí poéziu a prózu čerpajúcu z osobných skúseností mexicko-americkej ženy z Texasu. Svojou tvorbou, ako napríklad v básni „Moja matka šila periny“, povyšuje domáce mexicko-americké ženy, skupinu, ktorá bola v literatúre a poézii často nedostatočne zastúpená. Acosta je okrem autorky aj historičkou, ktorá svojimi publikáciami osvetľuje doteraz nedocenené prínosy mexicko-amerických žien do texaskej histórie. Jej štýl je intímny a úctivý, zameraný na rodinu, tradície a silu matiek a starých mám.
