Nisa, a member of the !Kung tribe of hunter-gatherers from Southern Africa's Kalahari desert region, now in her 50's would be considered a remarkable woman in any culture. The book is the story of her life, as told in her own words to a Harvard anthropologist who succeeded, with Nisa's collaboration, in breaking through the immense barriers of language and culture. A revelation of the universality of woman's experiences and feelings despite vast differences in culture and society.
