Praise for Books by Mary Zeiss Stange

“In America, the most eloquent spokesperson on women and hunting.”

--R. L. Wilson, Silk and Steel: Women at Arms

Woman the Hunter

“Mixing autobiographical reflection and scholarly analysis, a woman hunter examines the cultural history of hunting, brilliantly challenging fundamental assumptions about femininity, masculinity, and the relation of humans to the natural world. . . .Stange grapples head-on with a central philosophical question: Why hunt?” --Kirkus Reviews

“Woman the Hunter is a well-crafted and brilliantly researched combination of anthropology, religion, mythology and environmental studies. . . Stange challenges the idea that humans—male or female—are separate from nature. Hunting takes on symbolic value for us all.” --American Rifleman

“A provocative and wonderful book. And a direct and solid intellectual challenge to male hunter chauvinists and radical ecofeminists who have not been able to reconcile violence by females with a biophilic worldview.” --Environmental History

“A thought-provoking and challenging read. You may not agree, but you won’t be able to dismiss it.” --Ted Kerasote, Orion

Gun Women: Firearms and Feminism in Contemporary America, with Carol K. Oyster

“A lively mix of memoir, cultural and historical analysis, statistics, and cross-generational profiles of women who shoot —blasting the notion that feminism and firearms are incompatible.” --Ms. Magazine

“Gun Women adds immensely to the national conversation. No one can read this book without rethinking at least one of her previously fixed beliefs. Expand your view of guns in America. Read Gun Women.” –NationalReview.com

Heart Shots: Women Write about Hunting

“Far from a collection of gory tales about animal killing, this elegantly edited anthology is a tribute to the women who have forayed into the male-dominated world of hunting. . . .As intriguing as this book might be for hunters, it may be even more so for women who have never experienced the sensation of traveling through the forest with a gun, since reading about hunting lions at night, for example, offers a glimpse into a state of mind that’s far from ordinary.” –Publishers Weekly

“Stange. . .offers close to 50 pieces from female hunters past and present, well known and obscure. The subject matter of the essays ranges from the ethos and spirituality of the hunt to straightforward adventure accounts. . . .This is an important book that nicely bridges the sometimes yawning chasm between solid scholarship and writing that will appeal to the general public.”

-- Library Journal

“Heart Shots is a smart book by smart women about a sport too frequently seen through Disney-colored glasses.” – The Dallas Morning News

“. . . one of the most significant anthologies on hunting in print, not because its stories and essays were written by women but because the experiences it offers are so well rendered.” –Gray’s Sporting Journal
