In the 1930s, young anthropologist Ruth Landes crafted this
startlingly intimate glimpse into the lives of Ojibwa women, a
richly textured ethnography widely recognized as a classic study of
gender relations in a native society. By collaborating closely with
Maggie Wilson, a woman of Scots-Cree descent who grew up among the
Ojibwas, Landes was able to explore the complexity of Ojibwa
women's experiences in compelling and often uncompromising detail.
Sexuality and violence, marital rights and responsibilities, and
the constraints and opportunities afforded by traditional and
modern aspects of Ojibwa culture are all thoroughly and
thoughtfully examined in this study. Landes's pioneering work
continues to inspire lively debate today, her study having thrown
into relief essential questions about the nature of gender
relations among native peoples and how to best interpret them.
