YMR Fall 2020 Call for Submissions
"Women's Wisdom, Women's
Strength"
Guest Edited by

"Remember that I am just a woman who is living a very abundant life. Every
step I take forward is on a path paved by strong Indian women before me." ~Wilma Mankiller
Let us celebrate Native Women. Let us recognize them. Let them not be forgotten.
From our grandmothers and aunties and sisters to the women who write stories, lead states, and sit
as poet laureate for the United States, we turn to Native women for their strength, wisdom, and leadership. In this issue
of the Yellow Medicine Review, we ask you to celebrate with us.
We want to hear stories, poems, songs, dreams,
letters, and imaginings of Native Women. We hope to break stereotypes, to highlight the mission of #MMIWG, and to talk about
the lack of historical reproductive rights of Native women. Write a letter to a Native woman you admire. Tell us what it is
like to be a Native woman, to be a two-spirit woman; and men, tell us how the women in your life influenced you, molded you,
supported you.
Write about or to our Mother Earth, write a manifesto for your daughters, write about the great grandmother
you never met.
"oh woman
remember who you are
woman
it is the whole earth."
"The
Blanket Around Her" - Joy Harjo
When
we sing and cry and write to the women in our lives, who have made our lives, who continue life, we give them strength and
we build our own wisdom.
Write, sing, cry.
Kindly,
CMarie Fuhrman
