Voices from Sápmi: Sámi Women's Path to Authorship

Voices from Sápmi, originally published in 1998 and translated into English in 2006, was the first doctoral thesis ever published in the Sámi language. The book considers the Sámi identity and gender system, the history of Sámi women and Sámi female authors, and the biographies and works of several female Sámi authors. With a theoretical basis in post-colonial literary criticism and feminist criticism, the work illuminates both individual women's lives and their views on society and gender, as well as the history of the Sámi movement.
