Begun in 1994, this project is one of six projects aimed at understanding how North Carolinians have dealt with the changes that have transformed the state since the Great Depression (other projects focus on University history; North Carolina politics; business history; broadcast media; and memory and community studies).

Interviews explore the experiences of notable women leaders. The project seeks to redefine leadership to encompass women's efforts in grassroots movements and organization, especially in environmental movements, community development, and self-help organizations.
