Edited by Gloria Bird, this collection brings together work by more than eighty Native women writers connected to nearly fifty nations. Poetry, fiction, prayer, and memoir share space, giving the anthology a form that crosses literary genres and modes of expression. Its contributors include writers widely known in national literary circles, people recognized for work in tribal communities, and writers appearing in print here for the first time. The result is a broad gathering centered on Native women’s experiences and writing, with literary pieces alongside forms of personal and spiritual expression.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers seeking an anthology of Native women’s writing across multiple genres.
  • Those interested in poetry, fiction, prayer, and memoir by writers from diverse Native nations.

Book overview

This long-awaited anthology celebrates the experience of Native American women and is at once an important contribution to our literature and an historical document. It is the most comprehensive anthology of its kind to collect poetry, fiction, prayer, and memoir from Native American women. Over eighty writers are represented from nearly fifty nations, including such nationally known writers as Louise Erdrich, Linda Hogan, Leslie Marmon Silko, Lee Maracle, Janet Campbell Hale, and Luci Tapahonso; others -- Wilma Mankiller, Winona LaDuke, and Bea Medicine -- who are known primarily for their contributions to tribal communities; and some who are published here for the first time in this landmark volume.
