Review:

The author recounts the compelling history of women's struggle for freedom and equality in the USA and documents the Iroquois influence on this broad social movement. Iroquois women possessed rights beyond the wildest imagination of their European sisters. Their roles of responsibility and power within their tribes inspired and set into motion the revolutionary changes sought by women in the early days of America.
