Fran Leeper Buss, a former welfare recipient who earned a PhD in
history and became a pioneer in the field of oral history, has for
forty years dedicated herself to the goal of collecting the stories
of marginal and working-class U.S. women. Memory, Meaning, and
Resistance is based on over 100 oral histories gathered from women
from a variety of racial, ethnic, and geographical backgrounds,
including a traditionalMexican American midwife, a Latina poet and
organizer for the United Farm Workers, and an African American
union and freedom movement organizer. Buss now analyzes this body
of work, identifying common themes in women’s lives and
resistance that unite the oral histories she has gathered. From the
beginning, her work has shed light on the inseparable, compounding
effects of gender, race, ethnicity, and class on women’s
lives—what is now commonly called intersectionality. Memory,
Meaning, and Resistance is structured thematically, with each
chapter analyzing a concept that runs through the oral histories,
e.g., agency, activism, religion. The result is a testament to
women’s individual and collective strength, and an invaluable
guide for students and researchers, on how to effectively and
sensitively conduct oral histories that observe, record, recount,
and analyze women’s life stories.
