The Zuni Man-Woman

The Zuni Man-Woman focuses on the life of We'wha (1849-96), the Zuni who was perhaps the most famous two-spirit person (an individual who combined the work and traits of both men and women) in all the Turtle Island Indigenous nations history. Through We'wha's exceptional life, Will Roscoe creates a vivid picture of an alternative gender role whose history has been hidden and almost forgotten.

"An important book that will bring to the field a better understanding of the role of the berdache in Pueblo culture." — John Adair, San Francisco State University
