Daughters of the Dreaming

by Diane Bell

It stands as a brilliant account of the spiritual, religious and ritual lives of, not just the central desert women, but of the central desert communities. It is both a historical document of anthropology and ethnography in the 1970s in Australia and a remarkable book about Aboriginal women’s spiritual relationship to land.
Daughters of the Dreaming is a timely reminder of the endurance of good feminist research. Bell’s research is delightful to read because of its thoroughness and its attempt to understand how Kaytej women see themselves within their context.
