Oral history; Feminism & feminist theory; Gender studies, gender groups

Beyond Women’s Words unites feminist scholars, artists, and community activists working with the stories of women and other historically marginalized subjects to address the contributions and challenges of doing feminist oral history.

Feminists who work with oral history methods want to tell stories that matter. They know, too, that the telling of those stories—the processes by which they are generated and recorded, and the different contexts in which they are shared and interpreted—also matters—a lot. Using Sherna Berger Gluck and Daphne Patai’s classic text, Women’s Words, as a platform to reflect on how feminisms, broadly defined, have influenced, and continue to influence, the wider field of oral history, this remarkable collection brings together an international, multi-generational, and multidisciplinary line-up of authors whose work highlights the great variety in understandings of, and approaches to, feminist oral histories.

Through five thematic sections, the volume considers Indigenous modes of storytelling, feminism in diverse locales around the globe, different theoretical approaches, oral history as performance, digital oral history, and oral history as community-engagement. Beyond Women’s Words is ideal for students of oral history, anthropology, public history, women’s and gender history, and Women’s and Gender Studies, as well as activists, artists, and community-engaged practitioners.

Reviews for Beyond Women's Words: Feminisms and the Practices of Oral History in the Twenty-First Century

This book is by some of the most distinguished, clever and informed writers in the field. It builds on one of the transformative texts in oral history theory/practice to offer exciting and important contributions to the subject. Margaretta Jolly, University of Sussex, United Kingdom The contributions are solidly constructed and presented, well argued and inspiringly drawn from the experience of researchers and, of course, the women whose recorded words create these opportunities for discussion.
