Native women have filled their communities with strength and leadership, both historically and as modern-day warriors. The 12 Indigenous women who are featured in this book by Patricia Cutright overcame unimaginable hardships, including racial and gender discrimination, abuse, and extreme poverty to rise to great heights in the fields of politics, science, education, and community activism. Such determination and courage reflect the essence of the traditional Cheyenne saying: "A nation is not conquered until the hearts of its women are on the ground." The impressive accomplishments of these 12 dynamic women, including Henrietta Mann (Southern Cheyenne) and Elouise Pepion Cobell (Blackfeet) from Montana, provide inspiration for all.
