We present the results of a spectrophotometric study of star forming regions in HII galaxies. In particular, we find that, besides their “blobbiness”, HII galaxies are quite homogenous in their chemical properties, though we do see important fluctuations in some physical properties (e.g. extinction).To search for other articles by the author(s) go to: http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abstract_service.html
