Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

Us Women, Our Ways, Our World is an exemplar of Indigenous Studies writing, both epistemologically, theoretically, and methodologically. This collection features writings from 14 senior Indigenous academics and community leaders, exploring themes of women and Aboriginal identity.

The collection engages with profound questions such as: What makes Aboriginal women strong? Why are grandmothers so important, even those never met? How is the connection to country different for Aboriginal people compared to the non-Aboriginal people's love of nature or sense of belonging to an area? What is Aboriginal spirituality?

These writings are generous and inclusive, making a considerate effort to address the non-Aboriginal reader's feelings. They remain hopeful for the future, emphasising acknowledgement, collaboration, and care through joining with others.
