This new title profiles ten outstanding women leaders in the Native community. They include Winona LaDuke, one of Time magazine's fifty most promising leaders under forty; Sarah Winnemucca, the first Native American woman to write and publish a book; Maria Tallchief, co-founder of the Chicago City Ballet and prima ballerina with the New York City Ballet; and Mary Kim Titla, the first Native American television news reporter in Arizona. All of these successful, trailblazing women are stellar role models who have raised the profile of indigenous culture in North America. From heroines of the past to women making history today, this exciting work of non-fiction reminds readers of the extraordinary contributions of Native Americans to our daily lives and to our country's social fabric.
