AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
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.
