In this retelling of
Northwest Coast Native creation myths, Anne Cameron has woven together the
lives of two legendary and historical characters to create a sublime image of the
social and spiritual power of women. The book was a groundbreaking bestseller
when the first edition appeared in 1981 and became an underground classic,
selling more than 200,000 copies in many languages. |

| At the heart of this new edition is the entire text of the original but with important additions. In the years since Daughters of Copper Woman went out of print, the author has added fresh material and a new preface. The result is a new, complete version of a book that has touched a nerve in readers throughout the world. "The oral traditions committed to print here preserve their simplicity of theme and directness of expression. They lose nothing of the sense of inherent wisdom, courage and foresight characterized in the society of women from Vancouver Island." - The Guardian |

Cameron's voice is prophetic, her talents mature and powerful." - Ottawa CitizenAnne Cameron is the author of Dreamspeaker, a film that won seven film awards and the Gibson Award for Literature.
