These real-life stories were taken from interviews in 1975 with real women survivors of the Great Depression of the 1930s. Today, in 2012, these women are deceased, but they leave behind their oral histories...courageous stories of life and survival in the worst of hard times. Market and job downturns seem to come upon us with generational regularity so we can learn from them in this new age. Some of these stories have been reprinted in numerous anthologies and women's histories.
