Told in their own words, "Turtle Lung Woman's Granddaughter" is the
unforgettable story of several generations of Lakota women who grew
up on the open plains of northern Nebraska and southern South
Dakota. Delphine Red Shirt has delicately woven the life stories of
her mother, Lone Woman, and Red Shirt's great-grandmother, Turtle
Lung Woman, into a continuous narrative that succeeds triumphantly
as a moving, epic saga of Lakota women from traditional times in
the mid-nineteenth century to the present. Especially revealing are
Turtle Lung Woman's relationship with her husband, Paints His Face
with Clay, her healing practice as a medicine woman, Lone Woman's
hardships and celebrations growing up in the early twentieth
century, and many wonderful details of their domestic lives before
and during the early reservation years.
