Cherokee Women: Gender and Culture Change, 1700-1885, by Theda Perdue,
won the Julia Cherry Spruill Award for the best book in southern women’s history and
the James Mooney Prize for best book in the anthropology of the South.
Becky Matthews of Auburn University, writing for Alabama Review, April 2000, stated:
“Cherokee Women is a valuable addition to the growing scholarship on American
Indian women. Nonspecialists interested in native people will enjoy its clarity of style
and organization. Specialists and students…will appreciate its challenging themes,
fruitful methodology, and astute analysis of sources.”
More recently, Perdue edited an anthology, Sifters: The Lives of Native American
Women (2001), for which she wrote an essay, “Catherine Brown: Cherokee Convert
to Christianity,” as well as the book’s introduction.
In conjunction with Professor Michael D. Green, she has published The Columbia
Guide to American Indians of the Southeast (2001) and The Cherokee Removal: A
Brief History with Documents (1995, 2nd edition, 2005). In October, 2001, Professor
Perdue delivered the Lamar Lectures at Mercer University, published as “Mixed
Blood” Indians: Racial Construction in the Early South (2003).
She has served as president of the Southern Association for Women Historians and
the American Society for Ethnohistory . In 2006-2007, she was a fellow at the
Woodrow Wilson Center in Washington, D.C. She also has a John Simon
Guggenheim Foundation fellowship.
