'There are women out there, many more than I could study, who are vital and enjoy their later years. Their voices have not been heard....My decision to use in-depth interviews was prompted by several factors. I had just completed an oral history course and was aware of the tremendous potential of in-depth interviews. Besides, I wanted to meet and know these vital women, and hear their stories first-hand, to explore their changes in feelings, relationships, and ideas about aging. I also wanted to preserve the integrity of the individual woman's perspective and style. From my experience with oral history I knew that in-depth interviews encourage the subject to take an active part in the construction of the interview.'
