Women’s Oral History Archive

Uncovering women’s voices in an oral archive has changed the way we look, not only at women’s history, but at history in general. Rediscovering women’s history through their life narratives allows us to revise history, and reconsider our assumptions about the past and the future. In addition, documenting the lives of Egyptian women in their own voices enables women to improve their living conditions, and attain their rights. Research into oral history has contributed to the production of vibrant and useful knowledge for many women’s organizations around the world.

WMF

The Women and Memory Forum (WMF) was founded in 1995 by a group of women academics, researchers and activists concerned about the negative representations and perceptions of Arab women in the cultural sphere. Dominant cultural views and images of Arab women constitute a major stumbling block in the course of women’s development and the attainment of their rights.
