Reviews«Barbara Alice Mann has written a superb book, eminently reasonable in its arguments and impeccably documented, while both eloquent and compelling in presentation. _Iroquoian Women_ is an essential corrective to the apparently endless gush of misinformation about the Six Nations issuing from the ranks of _trolls_ who infest the mainstream academic enterprise known as Iroquoian studies. So, too, is it a much-needed and powerful rejoinder to the many marxists, feminists, and other self-styled progressives who have increasingly appropriated and distorted Haudenosaunee tradition for their own polemical purposes. This is truly must reading from one of the best and brightest scholars that Native North America has yet produced.» (Ward Churchill, Professor of Ethnic Studies, University of Colorado at Boulder; Author of _A Little Matter of Genocide_ and numerous other works) «Barbara Alice Mann_s work has opened my eyes to the extent of influence that women possessed in Haudenosaunee (Iroquois) society. It is small wonder that some of the _Founding Mothers_ of feminism in the United States (including Elizabeth Cady Stanton) drew inspiration from the Haudenosaunee way of life. With the skills, talents, and memory of a culture bearer and a historian, Barbara Alice Mann provides us with a landmark study of a political and social structure in which women chose the leaders (male and female), tended the hearth, passed on knowledge to children, and decided whether men could take their nations to war. Mann weaves an elegant account of a long-ignored and often misunderstood subject.» (Bruce Johansen, Robert T. Reilly Chair, University of Nebraska at Omaha; Author of more than a dozen works, including _Forgotten Founders: Benjamin Franklin, the Iroquois and the Rationale for the American Revolution_), «Barbara Alice Mann has written a superb book, eminently reasonable in its arguments and impeccably documented, while both eloquent and compelling in presentation.
