It is to the author's considerable credit that she is able to re-create the values and behavior of Cherokee women through court records, myths, and observers' accounts. By examining women's roles in farming and community life, Perdue argues that women were coequal contributors to Cherokee culture.\"\u003c\/b\u003e--\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTheda Perdue examines the roles and responsibilities of Cherokee women during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, a time of intense cultural change. While building on the research of earlier historians, she develops a uniquely complex view of the effects of contact on Native gender relations, arguing that Cherokee conceptions of gender persisted long after contact. Maintaining traditional gender roles actually allowed Cherokee women and men to adapt to new circumstances and adopt new industries and practices. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Theda Perdue\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0803287607\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780803287600\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bison Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/01\/1999\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 254\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.82lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.04w x 0.61d","brand":"Theda Perdue","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44047473148159,"sku":"9780803287600","price":17.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e7bc6bce-4440-4ecb-9c1b-804afceba982.jpg?v=1684990412","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/cherokee-women-theda-perdue-9780803287600","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
