Abstract:
Consists of photocopies of transcripts of
interviews with fifty-six low income and minority women. Includes a Master
Index by Patricia Seavey, with an introductory essay by Karen Anderson. The
indexes to the collection are organized by racial/ethnic group, geographic
area, and subject. The topics of the interviews concern the diversity in the
lives of women mainly in their work experiences, especially labor struggles,
the health care professions, and family lives, particularly problems of family
violence. The interviews were conducted by Fran Leeper Buss between 1976 and
1990. They were transcribed as a collaborative project, directed by Janice
Monk, of The Southwest Institute for Research on Women and The Schlesinger
Library on the History of American Women.
