The Sonoma County Women's Oral History Project is documenting the stories of women involved in the contemporary women's movement in Sonoma County (1960 to the present). Sonoma County is well known as the place where National Women's History Month and the National Women's History Project had their origins. Sonoma County has also been home to a wide range of woman-centered and feminist organizations since the 1960s. Although histories of the contemporary women's movement in the United States tend to focus on the national story, the story of activists in Sonoma County reminds us that while the women's movement may have had a national impact, it was grassroots activists in towns and counties across the country who initiated the ideas and programs that fueled national trends.
