Nature Has Not Betrayed the Heart That Loved Her" "The Song of the Generous Supply and Able-One, My Grandmother"
Includes selections by Nancy Perkins Wynecoop, Alice Day Pratt, Ella Rhoads Higginson, Anne Shannon Monroe, Narcissa Prentiss Whitman, Amanda Gardener Johnson, Margaret Jewett Bailey, Abigail Scott Duniway, Sarah Winnemucca Hopkins, Sui Sin Far, and Hazel Hall. The essays also explore the modern-day concept of empowerment in the experiences of these women. Each author is introduced in an essay that includes biographical information and provides historical and cultural context for a contemporary reading. The selections are arranged according to four recurring themes: connecting with nature, coping with circumstances, caregiving to others, and communicating for the self and others. Many of the pieces have been neglected or overlooked in studies of western women some have never before been presented to contemporary audiences. Selections by more than 30 authors illustrate the diversity of women's experiences in the Northwest between 18. The editors, in addition to asking how race, class, and gender affected these women's experiences, examine what role place played in shaping their lives. This anthology gives voice and interpretation to the experiences of a diverse group of women, all of whom were part of the Pacific Northwest, defined here as Oregon and Washington. Pacific Northwest Women, a remarkable collection of stories, essays, memoirs, letters, and poems, contributes to this new understanding and challenges many myths about women who lived and worked - and wrote - in the West. A new view of western history is emerging, one that recognizes the experiences and contributions of all peoples who lived in or came to the American West. Episodes are available on demand at The Immigrant Story and from all your favorite streaming services including Apple Podcast. Many Roads to Here is a production of The Immigrant Story. It will be broadcast locally at 99.1 FM, Portland Radio Project and will stream worldwide on Sundays after 4:00 p.m. We believe the stories in Many Roads to Here invite listeners to take stock of their own life experiences, and to view newcomers to America with a new perspective and, we hope, respect. Our podcast illuminates the broader themes of human migration, persecution and refuge, and demonstrates that these storytellers are our neighbors. In this way, we put those voices into an institution that preserves their narratives for future researchers.
In order to combat erasure of immigrants, our interviews are archived at the Oregon Historical Society.
We strive to reflect the national discourse. MRH is committed to centering the stories of immigrants and refugees of color, whose voices have been marginalized in the U.S. MRH is a production of The Immigrant Story (TIS), a trusted storytelling organization based in the Pacific Northwest. We aim not to preach, but to inform–and, better yet, empathize. We advance the national dialogue around race and identity and dispel the myths, stereotypes and preconceptions that haunt immigrants. Many Roads to Here (MRH), a podcast produced entirely by volunteers, tells the story of our nation’s newcomers in their own words, bringing the voices of immigrants, refugees, and asylum seekers to a national conversation about migration and identity.
