The Sacred Hoop, by Paula Gunn Allen, is the first gyncentric book of Native American feminism published in the United States. This book is a gyncentric collection of essays, poetry and fiction, from many feminine writers, tells and retells stories both new and old. Stories of a time when women were the rock of the tribe and female wisdom was honored.
The Sacred Hoop is full of information and is structured in three parts. The beginning is about the past, the role of our grandmothers and the sacred. The middle is about the present, Contemporary poets and stories. The end is about souls, families, and stories from other tribal cultures. As the first gyncentric book, The Sacred Hoop is the base line for all other books of its kind. It is a place where Indians and spirits are always found together.
