| "In the Days of Our Grandmothers" is a collection of essays detailing how Aboriginal women have found their voice in Canadian society over the past three centuries. These essays critically situate Aboriginal women in the fur trade, missions, labour and the economy, the law, sexuality, and the politics of representation. Leading scholars in their fields demonstrate important methodologies and interpretations that have advanced the fields of Aboriginal history, womens history, and Canadian history. A scholarly introduction lays the groundwork for understanding how Aboriginal womens history has been researched and written and a comprehensive bibliography leads readers in new directions.
