#NotYourPrincess: Voices Of Native American Women by Lisa
Charleyboy & Mary Beth Leatherdale
“Whether looking back
to a troubled past or welcoming a hopeful future, the powerful voices of
Indigenous women across North America resound in this book. In the same style
as the best-selling Dreaming in Indian, #NotYourPrincess presents an eclectic
collection of poems, essays, interviews, and art that combine to express the
experience of being a Native woman. Stories of abuse, humiliation, and
stereotyping are countered by the voices of passionate women making themselves
heard and demanding change. Sometimes angry, often reflective, but always
strong, the women in this book will give teen readers insight into the lives of
women who, for so long, have been virtually invisible.” This was a fascinating collection of poems and short
anecdotes, and other miscellanea. This
is a great book for anyone concerned about racism.
