Description
The Global Feminisms Project archives oral history interviews with individuals who identify themselves as working on behalf of issues related to women and gender in different national contexts. While the selection of interviewees is made by local organizers at each global site, the project as a whole emphasizes the multiple forms of feminism present within and across these sites. The interviews are conducted by different individuals using a common base protocol developed by the collaborators from the first four country sites (China, India, Poland and the U.S.A.).
Our goal is to make these interviews as widely available as possible. We hope to encourage teachers and researchers to study issues related to the many forms of feminist or women’s movement activism in general, as well as activism on behalf of particular issues. Interviewees describe their lives, their views, and their activist efforts in considerable detail, and of course each one is unique. We offer the unedited interviews as primary sources for understanding the history of activism in all its complexity and variation. In addition to documenting the remarkable accomplishments and diverse experiences of project participants, the unedited interviews also include the expression of views, values, and priorities that at times conflict with positions held by other feminists within and beyond the Global Feminisms Project.
