What people are saying about In Our Own Voices:

"In Our Own Voices is a remarkable tool in the service of a history that has gone mostly unrecorded. There is no time to mourn for the triumphs and losses, jokes and wisdom that have been lost. So hurry. Open this book and get to work. Let us not waste another moment."
—Anita Diamant, author of The Red Tent

"If ever there was a document that spoke to the truth that every human being, male and female, is created in the image of God, this is it.  The sample questionnaires, the jewel-like essays by learned scholars, the delicious vignettes, the evocative Joan Roth photos, the practical tips for interviewing—each piece of In Our Own Voices joyously celebrates the depth and variety of women's lives."
—Blu Greenberg, author of On Women and Judaism: A View From Tradition

"In Our Own Voices is a helpful and heartwarming guide to preserving the history of "important" American Jewish women. The editors have wisely understood that "importance" comes in many sizes, shapes, and forms. They have produced a tool that will help readers record the personal history of these women and understand the transformative role they have played in all our lives."
—Deborah Lipstadt, author of Denying the Holocaust: The Growing Assault on Truth and Memory

"Those who follow this guide will create deeply textured and professional interviews for oral history documentation and preservation according to the high standards set by the Jewish Women's Archive—and enjoy every minute of the process."
—Mary Marshall Clark, Director, Columbia University Oral History Research Office

"Based on the oral history projects of the Jewish Women's Archive, this booklet provides professional guidance for conducting interviews with American Jewish women.… Whether one is interviewing for an oral history project or for private use, this guide can help uncover rich veins of memory and experience."
