Review Quotes:
"Agents of Survivance breaks new ground in terms of primary source engagement and represents a monumental contribution to the field. Anne Ruggles Gere does well in discovering a litany of women who have mostly been overlooked in previous literature. I know of nothing comparable."--Hayes Peter Mauro, author of The Art of Americanization at the Carlisle Indian School
