NATIVE AMERICAN WOMENS STUDIES - STEPHANIE A SE...

This introduction to the fundamentals of Native American women's studies first looks at several
definitive topics created by the western cultural notion of feminism  and western historical
and religious perspectives on women. These include ecofeminism  gender roles and work  notions
of power  essentialism  women's leadership  sexualities  and spirituality in light of gender.
The book then discusses these concepts and their history from a traditional Native American
point of view. Foremost among the questions that Native American Women's Studies addresses are:
How have Native American women governed their nations? How was is the divine creatrix expressed
in Native American social systems? Most significantly  this book sheds light on the radical
differences between the indigenous understanding of human experience in terms of gender  and
that held and created by western culture.
