A to Z of Native American Women by Liz Sonneborn is a must-read, true account of
Native American history for anyone interested in Women Studies or Native
American Studies. This reference work lays fiction to rest and presents readers
with the reality of growing up female in a Native American environment. This
resource contains in-depth biographical research about over one hundred Native
American women, from the well-known to the little known; included are the first
female chiefs, the first Native American trained as a physician, and famous
figures like Sacagawea and Pocahontas (both of whom are widely portrayed as
supporters of European colonization--this book dispels this and other popular
fallacies).
This
is one of many powerful reference works located in Worcester Public Library and
will benefit anyone looking to gain more substantial knowledge about women,
Native American women, Native American culture, and American History. You will
not find this information readily available and as uniquely compiled through a
Google search!
find
it at the Main Library on the 3rd floor.
