There she joins a dedicated community of artists and book lovers and begins to build a new life for herself. Revolving around a small independent bookstore in contemporary Minneapolis, The Sentence follows a turbulent year in the life of a strong though vulnerable Ojibwe woman named Tookie.Īfter serving part of an outrageously long sentence, Tookie, who “learned to read with murderous attention” while in prison, naturally gravitates toward working at a bookstore. In this powerful and timely novel, National Book Award winning author Louise Erdrich explores how the burdens of history, and especially identity, appropriation, exploitation, and violence done to human beings in the name of justice, manifest in ordinary lives today.

Gale said people have thanked her for providing such an accessible story about a complicated topic. While the book serves up a rousing tale of a child overcoming obstacles - in this case, Ho’onani challenges traditional gender roles to perform as a hula warrior - it also deftly weaves in elements of culture and gender in simple language that kids can understand.

This does not come as a surprise, as the creation of many of these centers has historically been rooted in white feminist ideology leaving out Black, Indigenous, Womxn of Color (BIWOC), Trans Womxn, and many others who hold marginalized, intersectional Womxn identities. While the establishment of women’s centers changed life on college and university campuses for many who hold women identities, the racial and gender demographics of those occupying and utilizing resources and those in leadership has overwhelmingly been cis-gender and white. Many of the Women’s centers across the US came to life in response to the continued activism of students who held women identities and their allies.
