ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

One Thousand White Women: The Journals of May Dodd by Jim Fergus tells the story of a group of white women who are sent to the Cheyenne tribe as brides as part of a controversial government program in the 1870s. The novel is presented as the journals of one of these women, May Dodd, who chronicles her experiences and observations as she adapts to Cheyenne life and grapples with cultural differences. The main themes revolve around cultural clashes, identity, and the devastating consequences of westward expansion. The story also explores the roles of women in both societies, as they navigate personal and political challenges. The novel is a historical fiction that examines these issues through a personal and often emotional perspective.
