No, really. Read this book.
Smith's book, Conquest, is a fabulously accessible, comprehensive without being unwieldy, volume about the treatment of Native American women by individuals and especially by the state. She covers a number of topics and combines disciplines without it having too stuff an academic feel. I enjoy this book as an academic, but you don't have to be one to read it. She does a great job, too, of highlighting a lot of points I hadn't considered.
