"Daughters of the Dreaming" is not only a work of ethnographic importance. It also explores the nature of the changes in gender relations in Aboriginal society. Diane Bell was accepted as an adult woman who might be given ritual instruction, who participated in their ceremonies, and visited their sacred sites.
