We have interviewed 16 influential
local feminists — representing a diversity
of age, gender and race — who organized an
explosion of actions to break down barriers to
social and economic inequality in the 1960s and
1970s. During these interviews, we recorded their
oral histories on digital video to capture their
expressions and gestures along with their words
and glean valuable insights about the strategies
they employed and the organizations they created
in pursuit of social justice for women of all
races. This collection, consisting of 92 hours
of digital video, will be archived at the University
of Pittsburgh Library when the project is completed,
providing a rich new source of data for scholars
studying social movements and/or regional and
national history.
