In exploring their lives she rewrites early American history, challenging the established male-centered narrative. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Dubcovsky reconstructs the lives of Native women--Timucua, Apalachee, Chacato, and Guale--to show how they made claims to protect their livelihoods, bodies, and families. Through the stories of the Native cacica who demanded her authority be recognized; the elite Spanish woman who turned her dowry and household into a source of independent power; the Floridiana who slapped a leading Native man in the town square; and the Black woman who ran a successful business at the heart of a Spanish town, Dubcovsky reveals the formidable women who claimed and used their power, shaping the history of the early South.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAlejandra Dubcovsky\u003c\/b\u003e is associate professor of history at the University of California, Riverside.
