"This volume remains a welcome corrective to numerous biographical
anthologies of western historians and anthropologists that
generally overlook the significant contributions of these women
intellectuals."—Michael J. Lansing, Journal of American History
"The essays in this volume are uniformly well researched and well
written. . . . Young scholars will do well to study these women for
their insights, scholarly innovations, and courage in placing their
studies above their personal comforts."—Barbara Handy-Marchello,
South Dakota History
"Whether they were historians or anthropologists, these women were
activists, often offering criticism of legislative policies that
eroded Native sovereignty, land rights, and religious freedom. That
these women's stories are now made available in a concise
collection of biographies is a fortunate addition to western and
Indian history, anthropology, and feminist studies."—Andrea G.
Radke-Moss, Western American Literature
