She had admired the Cherokee society construction of gender which she used as the subject of this book.

From the seventh to the nineteenth century, the Cherokee people underwent an important time of gender and cultural change.

Since the nomads never settled anywhere for long, they were not accustomed to the different types of agriculture on the land which caused other tribes to overtake the land and cause the nomads to travel elsewhere.
