In this time when gender identity is much politicized, this makes for an interesting read. It's the study of We'wha who lived from 1849-96, and is the most famous Zuni berdache, (a person who combined the work and traits of both men and women). "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
