Sobre este artículo
Gladys Amanda Reichard (1893-1955) anthropologist, was for many years the head of the only undergraduate department of anthropology in a woman's college (Barnard) in the U.S. One of Franz Boas' star pupils, her concentration on Navajo studies resulted in SOCIAL LIFE OF THE NAVAHO INDIANS (1928), HANDBOOK OF AMERICAN INDIAN LANGUAGES (1938), MELANESIAN DESIGN (1933) NAVAJO SHEPHERD AND WEAVER (1936), and NAVAJO RELIGION (1950). SPIDER WOMAN was, however, her ground-breaking book. "Told from the point of view of the weaver, it is both a record of what a woman weaver thinks and does and one of the first good accounts of the field work experience." NAW, THE MODERN PERIOD, p. 573.
