Book Synopsis
Fran Leeper Buss, a former welfare recipient who 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 US women. Memory, Meaning, and Resistance is based on over 100 oral histories gathered from women from a variety of racial, ethnic, and geographical backgrounds.

Trade Review
The analysis is methodologically rich yet manages to capture the harsh realities of poverty, sexism, and racism, and the resilience of the activists. The book also sheds light on the role of spirituality in the lives of poor and working class women… An excellent resource for training graduate students to collect oral histories in a more intersectional, postmodern way. In short, we need this book.' - Mary Margaret Fonow, Arizona State University
