Description:

LaDonna Harris, wife of a U.S. Senator, and Wilma Mankiller, the first female chief of the Cherokee nation, are arguably the best-known Native American women of the 20th century. Janda examines the ways in which Harris and Mankiller each used to her advantage her identity as an Indian and, more specifically, as a woman. In an era when politically engaged women were considered radical, these two activists attempted to forestall criticism by promoting the belief that native culture esteemed women. As a result, Harris and Mankiller simultaneously furthered the interests of Indians and forged a new place for women in American politics.
