The Social And Political Position Of Women Among The Huron-Iroquois Tribes (1884) - Paperback

by Lucien Carr (Author)

""The Social and Political Position of Women Among the Huron-Iroquois Tribes"" is a book written by Lucien Carr and published in 1884. The book explores the role of women in the Huron-Iroquois tribes, which were native American societies located in what is now known as the northeastern United States and eastern Canada. Carr's work is based on extensive research, including interviews with native women and men, as well as historical and anthropological sources. The book covers a wide range of topics, including the status of women in the family, their participation in religious ceremonies, and their role in political decision-making. One of the main arguments of the book is that women in the Huron-Iroquois tribes held a relatively high status compared to women in other native American societies and even some European societies of the time. Carr argues that women had significant power and influence in the tribe, particularly in matters related to the family and the community. Overall, ""The Social and Political Position of Women Among the Huron-Iroquois Tribes"" is an important work of early anthropology and provides valuable insights into the role of women in native American societies.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
