A valued classic by a foremost female anthropologist! Underhill's fine ethnographic work gives us at least a glimpse into a time that will not come again, yet a time that will forever shape the future. Her approach is reverential, without being too sentimental. The study of culture is enriched by Underhill's writings, and the life history presented in Papago Woman stands clear as an excellent example of her devotion to her subject.

Review
"Hardly at any point was this life touched by our white standards of existence. From the beginning to end it has run a different current, filled with achievements, with joys and sorrows that arose out of the substance of life among her people. Her story--whether she is telling of being given to a husband she has never seen, or of her father s adopting his enemy s scalp into the household, or of the village ceremonials--sacrifices nothing of the accuracy of an ethnologist's formal account; but it has also what the latter can hardly attain--the breath of life." -- Ruth Benedict

Understanding our native american friends,
By A Customer
This review is from: Papago Woman (Paperback)
This book gave me a great understanding of the Native American folks who lived in Tucson long before me. For me the essence of the book and these sweet kind people was the 'Papago Woman' saying that when the children are playing and something gets broken then something is broken. That way of child rearing transcends everything I've ever learned.
