Summary
Feminist scholars have made fruitful use of oral histories by second-wave white feminists, although gathering the histories of feminists of color has been a relatively recent pursuit, and is by no means complete (Gluck et al. 1998). Although this book is not centered on oral history data, the insights of the Black and Chicana/Latina feminists I interviewed have added immensely to it. I am grateful to them for their time and generosity, and to Kimberly Springer for providing me with contact information for a number of them. In all, I conducted nine interviews and used material from two oral histories, as listed below:
Frances M. Beal, San Francisco, California July 2000
Irene Blea, Albuquerque, New Mexico, March 2000
Brenda Eichelberger, Chicago, Illinois, August 1999
Jane Galvin-Lewis, Brooklyn, New York, February 2000
Aileen C. Hernández, San Francisco, California, July 2000
Dorothy King, Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, February 2000
Dorinda Moreno, Concord, California, July 2000
Margo Okazawa-Rey, San Francisco, California, July 1999
Mirta Vidal, Brooklyn, New York, May 2000
I also drew on two oral histories in writing this book; these were conducted by Maylei Blackwell with Ana Nieto-Gómez in 1991 and Leticia Hernández in 1992, and archived at the Special Collections/University Archives Oral History Collection. I wish to thank Sherna Gluck, director of the Oral History Program at California State University at long Beach, and Maylei Blackwell for access to these very rich interviews.
