Abstract

McBride's book explores the disastrous effects of colonization on four courageous and idiosyncratic American Indian women of the Wabanaki tribes of the North Atlantic coast that include Abenaki, Maliseet, Mi'kmaq, Passamaquoddy, and Penobscot. The women considered are unrelated except by place, circumstance, and first name -- all are named Molly. Their brief biographies span four centuries.
