I'll also recommend this book. Think of it as a historical analysis with a feminist perspective. Won the Bancroft Prize in 2010. It's a fresh historical take on the development of Indian boarding schools, one where white middle class women are the central protagonist. Explains how ideas of femininity, domesticity, and suffrage in the US progressive era attracted many white women to the task of removing children from Indian families and teaching them in boarding schools. Not feminism per se, but I think feminist thinking was a precondition for a book like this to come about.
