Description: Young Hopi woman, with a sheet around her shoulders, standing in the doorway of an adobe building.
Signed on mount: "© Frederick Monsen." Title supplied by cataloger. In the lower right corner of print, part of a number written on the negative is visible. Monsen's typed label on back says: "Hopiland. Arizona. In this land of women's rights, the husband must live with the wife's relations. The children also are here, taking their descent from her, and are nearer kin to her brothers and sisters than to the father. The house they live in is hers, and all the corn and other food brought into the grain room. Should there be domestic trouble, she alone has the right of separation and can turn her husband out of doors."
