The contributors to Written in Her Own Voice remove darkness from how gender and gender roles have an effect on women’s advancement, educational success, and life aspirations. Chapters provide thick, wealthy descriptions of the authors’ lives, the use of heuristic and phenomenological inquiry as guiding theoretical frameworks. These women write about how power relations within society continue to advertise exclusion and marginalization along race, gender, class, and non secular lines world wide. They examine the influences of families, communities, and societies of their educational and professional lives. This unique project has produced fascinating stories from real-life anecdotes, examining the role of families in developing one’s sense of self vis-à-vis others and the role of culture and community within the development of personhood. Diasporic experiences give voice to adaptations and changes that happen when two cultures (i.e., Western and native cultures) collide. The authors courageously narrate how they find their voices amidst the noises that threaten to drown them out.
