1993. NJ, Rutgers, 1993. 15 cm x 23 cm. XIII, 235 pages. Original Sofcover. Very good condition with only very minor signs of external wear. In the past twenty-five years many Native American writers have retold the traditional stories of powerful mythological women: Corn Woman, Changing Woman, Serpent Woman, and Thought Woman, who with her sisters created all life by thinking it into being.

Yellow Woman and a Beauty of the Spirit is written with the fire of necessity. Silko's call to be heard is unmistakable; there are stories to remember, injustices to redress, ways of life to preserve. It is a work of major importance, filled with… Read More
