| Sumario: | Ledger art has traditionally been created by men to recount the lives of male warriors on the Plains. During the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, this form has been adopted by Native female artists, who are turning previously untold stories of women's lifestyles and achievements into ledger-style pictures. While there has been a resurgence of interest in ledger art, little has been written about these women ledger artists. This book calls attention to the extraordinary achievements of these strong Indigenous women who have chosen to express themselves through ledger art. |
