In an era when minorities struggled for recognition, LaDonna Harris and Wilma Mankiller furthered the interests of Native Americans and forged a new place for women in politics by astutely playing accepted notions about ethnicity and gender to their own advantage. In Beloved Women, historian Sarah Eppler Janda examines the public identity these two women created for themselves and how, in turn, their respective identities shaped their political fortunes.

Moving beyond the conventional role of a 1950s U.S. senator s wife, Harris discovered opportunities to call attention to the inequalities facing Native Americans. A Comanche, Harris founded activist organizations, testified at congressional hearings, and served on scores of federal committees concerning both women and Native Americans. At the same time, by attributing her humanitarian efforts to tribal values, Harris asserted the relevance of Indian beliefs and customs in modern society.

During the heyday of the women s rights movement, Mankiller linked feminist ideas to Cherokee tradition. Indian culture, she asserted, esteems women, as proven by the legendary Beloved Woman who fulfills familial expectations yet also assumes political duties. Mankiller adopted this role when she became the first female chief of the Cherokee Nation in 1985, a position she held for a decade.

Harris and Mankiller became national leaders, Janda concludes, in large part because their complex persona--Indian and woman--enabled them to challenge social and political norms.

Gentle protection for tiny beginnings
Size: Newborn, Unit Count: 31
Huggies Size Newborn diapers have been a lifesaver during those first precious weeks. They’re incredibly soft and gentle on delicate newborn skin, which gave us peace of mind from day one. The fit is excellent, snug without being too tight and the umbilical cord cutout is a thoughtful feature that makes healing easier and more comfortable for the baby. We’ve experienced very few leaks, even during overnight use, which is impressive for newborn diapers. Overall, Huggies Newborn diapers offer reliable protection, comfort, and quality. They’ve made those early sleepless nights just a little bit easier, and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to other new parents.

Great Product-Love These
Size: Newborn, Unit Count: 31
We have tried other name brand diapers over the years and people rave about other brands, but our experience with other brands is not good. Even the hospital doesn't use this brand and baby's onesie kept getting wet. They were folding their Pampers down at top for umbilical cord where Huggies have cut out for umbilical cord. Our personal experience is other name brand diapers seem to leak with our babies, and these stay snug and keep clothes and baby dry. When it says 100% leak proof and all-around blowout blocker it's factual for us and our babies. They are easy to use and durable. We have babies with sensitive skin and there is no irritation with these diapers.

Feat of diaper engineering
Size: Preemie, Unit Count: 30
I liked these well enough until my preemie had the biggest poo I’ve ever seen. That diaper probably weighed almost as much as he does and his white footie pajamas were untouched. Miracle. Worth every penny. Absolute legend.

Perfect thank you
Size: Newborn, Unit Count: 144
These baby diapers have been an excellent choice. They are very soft against the skin, which helps prevent irritation or chafing—even for babies with sensitive skin. Their absorbency is excellent, keeping the baby dry for several hours, both day and night. Furthermore, the fit is comfortable and secure, allowing the baby to move freely without any leaks. Without a doubt, they are practical, reliable, and provide peace of mind for parents. Highly recommended!
