She started interviewing lesbians over the age of 70, nineteen years ago. Thankfully, this project has saved life stories of lesbians born in early 1900s. Today, the Herstory Project has completed over 500 lesbian life stories and anticipates adding another 100 this year. These finished life stories are a gift from all of the women involved. Starting with a recorded interview and transcription, the finished story is a beautiful document including pictures, awards and achievements.

From the collection of stories, there are 2 books: A Gift of Age, and Without Apology. They give a glimpse of what life was like for the strong women who have gone before us. These women were true to themselves and fully engaged in life.
