Chain Her by One Foot - The Subjugation of Native Women in Seventeenth-Century New France (Paperback, New Ed)

Karen Anderson challenges the view that women have everywhere and always been subjugated to men, arguing that domination and the social institutions that support it are both socially and historically specific. She explores this important theme by focusing on North American colonial history to show how the coming of the French undermined the equal relations between men and women in the Huron and the Montagnais peoples.
