Wild Girls: How the Outdoors Shaped the Women Who Challenged a Nation by Tiya Miles explores how time spent in nature — from plantations to wilderness — equipped 19th-century women like Harriet Tubman and Louisa May Alcott with crucial skills, resilience, and expansive thinking to defy societal norms, resist racism and sexism, and ultimately change America. The book argues nature served as a vital training ground, fostering independence, critical awareness, and revolutionary ideas, and calls for equal access to outdoor spaces for all girls today.

A Pulitzer Prize-winning novel set in the 1950s, following Thomas Wazhashk, a Chippewa council member and night watchman, as he fights the U.S. government's "Termination Bill" (HCR 108) designed to end federal recognition of tribes and seize their land. The story interweaves his political battle with personal narratives, exploring themes of love, loss, community, and Indigenous identity through characters like his niece Patrice Paranteau and aspiring boxer Wood Mountain, as they navigate reservation life, cultural traditions, and the threat of assimilation.
