A Warrior of the People: How Susan La Flesche Overcame Racial and Gender Inequality to Become America’s First Indian Doctor by Joe Starita

5.0

I loved this book. It fleshed out what it was like to be Native American during the Victorian era. It gave context to the Dawes Act and the rise of the Native American church. This made these pivotal events central instead of their usual footnote status. Also, this woman is such an inspiration in all she did for her community.
