The Apache Woman Who Fought Beside Geronimo — And The Forgotten Story Of Lozen, The Warrior History Almost Forgot
The women’s experience of the prisoner years was shaped by their specific roles and their specific relationships.
Women who had children were dealing with the systematic threat to their families posed by the program of sending children to boarding schools.
Women who had been warriors were dealing with the disorientation of sudden, complete immobility — the transition from a life of constant movement and active capability to the confinement of a coastal fort.
Lozen’s specific experience of the prisoner years is not documented in detail.
She died relatively early in the prisoner period — in 1889, within three years of the surrender.
