In this highly original volume of social history, Karen Anderson makes a provocative claim: the subjugation of women in seventeenth-century New France was linked with the brutal colonization of native Indian populations. Before colonization, the Huron and Montagnais tribes lived in gender-egalitarian societies. The domination of women by men was only one effect of French "civilization"–along with warfare, disease, famine and Jesuit proselytization–which combined to destroy Indian culture and sexual equality. Anderson’s is an interdisciplinary, cross-cultural, feminist case study of the historical and political construction of gender and racial inequality.
