In a brave and drastic bid for peace, the Cheyenne nation agrees to integrate with white settlers through marriage in 1875. In the thick of this matrimonial exchange is May Dodd, born into wealth but imprisoned in a lunatic asylum for defying societal norms. Offered redemption through a clandestine government program, May and a group of pioneering women seize the opportunity to escape oppression and embrace a new destiny. May's tenacity is documented through fictional journals chronicling her passionate romance with an army captain, her marriage to Cheyenne chief Little Wolf, and her harrowing life navigating two conflicting cultures. 'One Thousand White Women' is a poignant embodiment of love, courage, and the complex tapestry of human history.
