Hear Her Voice presents the stories of women in the migration process. It looks at their dreams, aspirations, family ties, disappointments and achievements, while capturing some of the diversity of cultural background, patterns of immigration and experiences of settling.

Primary source material is in the form of transcripts, audio, video, photographs, objects and facsimiles of letters and immigration documents. Hyperlinks allow students access to this material, including the complete transcripts.

To view the Hear Her Voice interactives, you will need a Version 4+ browser, plus the Shockwave™ (Flash 4) and G2 RealPlayer™ plugins. Hear Her Voice opens in a separate browser window.
