Oral history trancripts and releases, notes, and research materials gathered betwen 1985 and 1987 by Lebra-Chapman for her book, Women's Voices in Hawaii (1991). Transcripts are arranged by book chapter, documenting women members of the following ethnic groups: Hawaiian and part-Hawaiian, Chinese, Portuguese, Scottish-English, Japanese, Okinawan, Korean, Puerto Rican, and Filipino. Many of the interviewees were elderly women and their recollections dated back to the early years of the 20th century. Topics discussed include their early years and/or arrival in Hawaii, parents, family and friends, marriage and children, work in and out of the home, communities, and social and church activities. Most of the interviews were conducted by Lebra-Chapman with a few done by her students at the University of Hawaii at Manoa.
