A pathbreaking look at Native women of the early South who defined
power and defied authority Ā āAn artful, powerful book. . .
. [A] substantial contribution to our knowledge of women in the
so-called āforgotten centuriesā of European colonialism in the
southeast.āāMalinda Maynor Lowery, author of The Lumbee Indians
Ā āA remarkable book. Alejandra Dubcovsky pursued
relentless research to uncover the histories of women previously
unseen, even unnamed. As Dubcovsky shows, they had names, they had
families, they had lives that mattered. The historical landscape is
transformed by their presence.āāLisa Brooks, author of Our
Beloved Kin Ā Historian Alejandra Dubcovsky tells a story of
war, slavery, loss, remembrance, and the women whose resilience and
resistance transformed the colonial South. In exploring their lives
she rewrites early American history, challenging the established
male-centered narrative. Ā Dubcovsky reconstructs the lives
of Native womenāTimucua, Apalachee, Chacato, and Gualeāto show
how they made claims to protect their livelihoods, bodies, and
families. Through the stories of the Native cacica who demanded her
authority be recognized; the elite Spanish woman who turned her
dowry and household into a source of independent power; the
Floridiana who slapped a leading Native man in the town square; and
the Black woman who ran a successful business at the heart of a
Spanish town, Dubcovsky reveals the formidable women who claimed
and used their power, shaping the history of the early South.
