Native Women demand to be heard in this stunning anthology.

Whether looking back to a troubled past or welcoming a hopeful future, the powerful voices of Indigenous women across North America resound in this book. In the same style as the best-selling Dreaming in Indian, #Not Your Princess presents an eclectic collection of poems, essays, interviews, and art that combine to express the experience of being a Native woman. Stories of abuse, humiliation, and stereotyping are countered by the voices of passionate women making themselves heard and demanding change. Sometimes angry, often reflective, but always strong, the women in this book will give teen readers insight into the lives of women who, for so long, have been virtually invisible.

A Good Introduction to Indigenous Feminism

Reviewed in Canada on June 7, 2019

Verified Purchase

I bought this for a class, I throughly enjoyed the wide range of Indigenous women/folx who contributed to this anthology . This is very good introduction into Indigenous women, theory, and I like how it's set up like a zine because it's not overly academic. I think this would be great for Indigenous teenagers as well as Settler teenagers to learn more about some of the historical context as well contemporary issues facing Indigenous peoples, specifically women. #NotYourPrincess is pretty non threatening for people who are resistant to learning about Indigenous issues (or reconcillation) due to it's zine like format. I really enjoyed it.

Sadly I bought 2 books for my daughters after listening to review on the CBC.
Haven’t had the heart to give the books to my teenaged girls, the whole collection is so disheartening and angry didn’t have it in me to crush the girl’s hopes and dreams.

Reviewed in Canada on September 14, 2018

This is a very powerful collection of stories from Native American Women.

These stories were in multiple different forms. There are poems, short stories, essays, as well as paintings, photographs, and drawings. One of the stories was in the form of a comic, and another looked like pages torn from a notebook. Each of them were different and used a different format.

There were a few pieces on the residential schools in Canada. For those that don’t know, the residential schools separated Native children from their parents, and raised them to be “white.” They removed their Indigenous culture from them, and refused to let them practice it. The women who wrote these stories are the children of the kids who were sent to residential schools. Though they didn’t witness it first hand, they have seen the pain that their parents still feel from their time spent there.

There was also an essay about how racist and harmful a Pocahontas costume is for Halloween. It represents more than just a character, even if the wearer means no harm. It is a costume but it represents a real person, who cannot take it off at the end of the night. People also think that Indigenous women need to look a certain way. There were a couple of pieces on not looking Indigenous enough, as if you can’t identify as a Native Woman if you have the wrong colour hair or skin. I find it crazy that people can think that, because they wouldn’t say that other cultures. For some reason people judge Indigenous people by what percentage of Native heritage they have in their genes,

I loved this collection of Native American Women’s voices.

I received a copy of this book from the publisher on NetGalley.

Reviewed in Canada on October 17, 2017

This is an amazing book! It's like the "Free to Be, You and Me" for Indigenous youth, or for any young person regardless of their cultural background. I would have absolutely loved this as a Indian kid growing up in the burbs--full of illustrations, artwork, comics, poems, songs, icons...and more! Look for it, buy it! Your kid will love it.

The voices of strong women with important lessons....

As a native woman with few role models as a child I would have thrived on a book like this, it’s necessary and enlightening. I will share this with anyone who wants to hear the voices of native women.

I loved this book. The women used their life experiences as well of those of their mothers and grandmothers to educate their readers of the injustices they face in life. I also loved the use of photography and art throughout this book.
