Oh Thank you for this information, so filled with power and beauty. I loved seeing it!
I am trying to get some info on the Pawnee in Southern Missouri.
You reminded me of an interesting point: all of the inventions women have created, thanks for that. It is also thought that women domesticated animals first and invented the calendar to track our menses, among many other inventions.
Yes, we do need the softness. Every day I see the masculinization of my sisters and world. I too am a feminist who will defend her sisters and who loves feminine values.
Thank you again, and good luck with all of your endeavors!

This is a wonderful article! I love to learn about whole new subjects that remind me how beautiful and artistic/functional women’s creations can be!

Not only are these dresses beautiful you can bet the are functional, comfortable and modest, unlike the clothes we wear now which are for the most part designed for women by men.

Violet, I, too, was moved. I am tired of celebrating violence. Our kids’ history text books are full of the battles, we teach the destruction, and so little of the creating.

When I read the word “foremothers” I said the word aloud and cried. I don’t know if I have ever spoken that word aloud til now. I will use it often.

Thank you for the reminder that, while we have a tremendous amount of power and strength to offer the world, we also have softness and beauty, which is just as important.

I love this, Violet! It’s beautiful and true. I have actually wept as I’ve considered the armies of women who’ve clothed and fed the planet generation after generation, and how little credit they’ve received. Most women today don’t even know this. Sad, I know. IBTP, ftr.
