Speaking While Female: An Open Access Women’s Speech Archive

Dana Rubin created a resource that should interest all historians: the SpeakingWhileFemale.co women’s speech archive.

It’s the largest existing collection of women’s speeches from around the world and across time. Rubin created this resource out of frustration when she realized the extent to which the history of speech has completely ignored women’s voices.

Hopefully, students and scholars, teachers, debate coaches, and women’s groups will make free use of this digital archive — and create a greater appreciation of what women have contributed to history through their voices. Please share information about this resource.
