Oral historian Sherna Gluck, a pioneer in oral history and feminist studies, will give a talk Wednesday, March 14, from 4:30-5:30 p.m. on the second level of the Rasmuson Library.

In her early work, Gluck recorded American suffragists, preserving their description of the movement for equality. Her documentation of women airplane factory workers during WWII led to her book "Rosie the Riveter Revisited." She is known for her work on feminist scholarship, which includes interviews with and publications on the lives of Palestinian women. Under her direction, the Oral History Program at California State University, Long Beach was one of the first to offer recordings and supporting documentation online. She is a leader in the Oral History Association and was a major contributor to the association’s Principles and Best Practices for Oral History.
