Abstract
This monograph is the first major work on Apache women that is devoted to themselves almost exclusively. The book is essentially a compilation of the skillfully assembled and excellently narrated stories of four paradigmatical Apache women -- Elbys Naiche Hugar, Kathleen Smith Kanseah, Mildred Imach Cleghorn and Ruey Haozous Darrow. Each woman tells about her life, remembered ancestors, and hopes for a better tomorrow. Comparisons and contrasts are made between the life-styles of twentieth century Apache women and those of the past. Much of the data contained in this work are autobiographical in nature.
