Sophia Smith Collection: Voices of Feminism

Sophia Smith Collection: Voices of Feminism
http://www.smith.edu/library/libs/ssc/vof/vof-intro.html

Based at Smith College, the Voices of Feminism Oral History Project "documents the persistence and diversity of organizing for women in the United States in the latter half of the 20th century." The women interviewed here include labor, peace, and anti-racism activists, along with anti-poverty organizers and lesbian rights advocates. The project was funded by the Ford Foundation from 2002 to 2008, and visitors will find that they can also read transcripts of the interviews as well. The "Narrators" page features biographical profiles of each interviewee, along with links to the transcript of each interview. As a bonus feature, there are video excerpts for six of the women interviewed as part of the project.
