- Summary:
- "An account of Amelia Stone Quinton (1833-1926) and the organization she cofounded, the Women's National Indian Association (WNIA), that offers a nuanced insight into the intersection of gender, race, religion, and politics in our shared history. Shows how Quinton was a true force for reform and progress who was nonetheless constrained by the assimilationist convictions of her time"-- Provided by publisher.
