Synopsis

This long-awaited anthology celebrates the experience of Native American womenan important contribution to our literature.

Over eighty writers are represented from nearly fifty nations, including such nationally known writers as Louise Erdrich, Linda Hogan, Leslie Silko, Lee Maracle, Janet Campbell Hale, and Luci Tapahonso; othersWilma Mankiller, Winona LaDuke, and Bea Medicinewho are known primarily for their contributions to tribal communities; and some who are published for the first time in this volume.
