American Indian Women: Telling Their Lives by Gretchen M. Bataille

Bataille and Kathleen Mullen Sands cogently demonstrate in this book the creative vitality of autobiographies that, despite differences in style and purpose, clarify the centrality of women in American Indian cultures. Included is a comprehensive, annotated bibliography or works by and about American Indian women.

American Indian Women Reviews

An important contribution to the fields of Native/American Indian studies and women's studies. Its approach is innovative and suggests wide possibilities for further exploration.-Clara Sue Kidwell, Women's Studies International Forum
This readable and engaging work . . . marks a turning point in a developing literature on American Indian women, being a good general summary of all previous work, and making future work more possible. . . . The study of American Indian women not only reveals the fundamental nature of Indian societies, it also provides a perspective for the contemporary women's movement.-Roxanne Dunbar Ortiz, Western American Literature
Bataille and Sands make a significant contribution to scholars, students, and general readers interested in autobiography, biography, the oral and written tradition of American Indian literature, literary criticism, history, and ethnographic studies.-North Dakota Quarterly
