Review Quotes

Advance Praise:

"This book is simply remarkable. Dr. Bartlett's accomplished research provides true evidence of what women have intuitively known for centuries: When united around a call to action and a sense of place, we create powerful change. And our communities are so much better because of it."
Emily Larson, Duluth Mayor

"Making Waves portrays with intimate detail an astonishing array of grassroots feminist organizations in communities surrounding the Duluth Harbor at the tip of Lake Superior. . . . Beth Bartlett's fine-grained study shows us that we are only beginning to understand the rich feminist ferment that has changed--and continues to change--the world we live in."
Sara M. Evans, author, Tidal Wave: How Women Changed America at Century's End

"Making Waves is a creatively researched and heartening story that, in Beth Bartlett's identification and acknowledgement of the foundations of traditional Ojibwe values and womanhood, rides the crest of Third Wave feminism to the intersectional fourth."
Linda LeGarde Grover, Associate Professor, Department of American Indian Studies, University of Minnesota Duluth
