Barbara Alice Mann, Phd.scholar and author, whose books include internationally famous "Iroquoian Women: The Gantowisas" with a forward by Paula Gunn Allen. She writes, "Mann demonstrates effectively that once there was a world in which women possessed the dignity and stature naturally theirs by virtue of their sex. Their station did not come to them from men; they were not "granted" status. Indeed, they were the grantor of amy status that was to be had. Not only did the matreons of Mann's Iroquoian people control the fields and their produce, abut they were also in charge of the distribution of all food and other consumables . . they were the source of most information (except for that pertaining only and exclusively to males) political power, custom, and tradition."

Barbara Mann writes, "I can only trust that my message--the extraordinarly high political, social, and religious status of Iroquoian women--will ring a bell with feminists. I have been troubled in the past to note that the facts of Iroquoian sisterhood, once so dear to Seneca Falls feminists as to have formed their beacon of hope, are almost wholly unknown to their modern counterparts."
