Review
"Historians of American Indians have devoted insufficient attention to the distinctive experiences of Native American women, although in recent years a number of scholars have made strides in reversing that trend. With Southern Ute Women, Katherine Osburn helps redress this gap in the historiography. . . . A thoughtful, incisive, and well-written monograph that does much to further our understanding of the dynamic lives of Native American women in the allotment era."- Steve Amerman, Western Historical Quarterly (Steve Amerman Western Historical Quarterly 20080325)

"A well-researched, clearly written account that adds to our understanding of the power dynamic between a dominating federal government and a subordinate, but not completely coerced, reservation population."- Sherry L. Smith, Agricultural History (Sherry L. Smith Agricultural History 20080325)

"[Southern Ute Women] makes a useful contribution to the growing body of scholarship on Native American women."- Sara H. Hill, American Historical Review (Sara H. Hill American Historical Review ) --This text refers to the Paperback edition.
