'In Anglo-American Women Writers and Representations of Indianness, 1629-1824, Cathy Rex compellingly explores how women writers from the late seventeenth through the early nineteenth century exploit contradictions in European and Euro-American treatment and representation of Native Americans in order to critique the treatment of women and develop their own agency. Rex's extended attention to images, material culture, and neglected historical figures provides more finely delineated contexts for her analyses of well-known print narratives by Anglo-American women, yielding both a richer sense of their literary and intellectual sophistication and a more clear-eyed understanding of the ways they were enmeshed in the often exploitative and racist activities of their day.'
