Cutright, Patricia J., author.
Native women : changing their worlds / Patricia J. Cutright.
"Native women have filled their communities with strength and leadership, both historically and as modern-day warriors. The twelve Native American and First Nations women featured in this book overcame unimaginable hardships--racial and gender discrimination, abuse, and extreme poverty--only to rise to great heights in the fields of politics, science, education, and community activism. Such determination and courage reflect the essence of the traditional Cheyenne saying: "A nation is not conquered until the hearts of its women are on the ground"--Provided by publisher.
