By bringing together the voices of Native American women writers
across time, regions, and tribes, this collection makes visible a
dynamic tradition of women's wisdom and storytelling. From early
legends to present-day fiction and poetry, this tradition
emphasizes women's spiritual connection to the natural world and
their contributions to tribal and familial community. Central to
women's strength is the role of animal figures-Coyote, Owl, Beaver
and Bear-who act as guides, helpers, and personal totems, appearing
unexpectedly in the modern urban landscape as well as being a
constant presence in nature.
The work of more than forty authors appears in this volume,
representing tribes and regions extending over most of the U.S. and
parts of Canada. Among the authors included are Louise Erdrich, Joy
Harjo, Leslie Marmon Silko, Paula Gunn Allen, Linda Hogan and Beth
Brant, along with writers whose work appears here for the first
time.
