Women's voices in Hawaii

"I carried out interviews with approximately fifty women in their eighties and upper seventies on Oahu, Maui, Kauai, and the Big Island (a few respondents were in their sixties, a few in their nineties). Because the focus of my concern was sociocultural history, I did not not include groups that immigrated to Hawaii after World War II... The questions I asked... were based on providing information on immigration, childhood, education, food, clothing, language, religious, beliefs, work experience, courtship, marriage, children, and relations to other groups..."--Pref.
