Creator:St. Paul Police Women Oral History Project
Title:Oral history interviews of the St. Paul Police Women Oral History Project.
Dates:2010.
Language:Materials in English.
Abstract:This project documents the challenges and successes of female officers that served in the St. Paul Police Department between the 1960s and the 2000s. The project evolved out of the larger St. Paul Police Department Oral History Project when it became evident that the female officers' experiences were significantly different. The interviews trace the changing roles of female officers and record their stories of discrimination, public success, and private pain. Subjects were interviewed by Kate Cavett. To get information about two accompanying transcripts for Lucia Theresa Wroblewski and Beverly Hall, please contact the Minnesota Historical Society Oral History Office.
Quantity:Sound recordings: 22 sound discs (20 hours, 5 minutes).
