"Whether looking back to a troubled past or welcoming a hopeful future, the powerful voices of Indigenous women across North America resound in this book. In the same style as the best-selling Dreaming in Indian, #Not Your Princess presents an eclectic collection of poems, essays, interviews, and art that combine to express the experience of being a Native woman. Stories of abuse, humiliation, and stereotyping are countered by the voices of passionate women making themselves heard and demanding change. Sometimes angry, often reflective, but always strong, the women in this book will give teen readers insight into the lives of women who, for so long, have been virtually invisible."--… (plus d'informations)
#NotYourPrincess is a collection of essays, artwork, poetry, quotes, photographs, interviews, and graphic texts. All of the contributors are Indigenous women representing many different tribes. Lisa Charleyboy introduces the book by saying, “This book...gave me the space to not only write a love letter to all young Indigenous women trying to find their way but also to help dispel those stereotypes so we can collectively move forward to a brighter future for all” (pg. 9). The contributors address trauma, stereotypes, and invisibility, while at the same time also focusing on the strength of family, tradition, and activism.
This collection is not only for Indigenous women. Reading it will provide a window into the lives of Indigenous women and help to bring about a better understanding of the lives they live.
Each piece in here is worth reading. Many of them got me in the gut, and made me gasp. It's amazing how much feeling is packed into each short piece, whether it's a poem, a picture, an essay, a comic strip, or a quote.
There isn't much cohesion to the anthology, but that's okay. I really liked the diversity, both in terms of the medium of the piece as well as the tribal affiliations of the creators.

I feel everything in this book. I grew up around Native American women that told me stories about going to reservation schools and being taken from their homes. Stories about how they were forced to learn the "white" man's way. As a mother of a Native American daughter I feel this book. The pictures are amazing and the words are true. This is a great book for young girls to read whether Native American or not. There is hope in these stories and poems. ( )
