"The Project is excited about having a DVD that shares what we are doing! Thanks to the Puget Sound chapter of Old Lesbians Organizing for Change (PS OLOC) for taking on production of this informative, moving and delightful film. It's filled with dramatic readings of excerpts from stories in the OLOHP collection and narrated by the Old Lesbian Oral Herstory Project Founder, Director, and Guiding Force, Arden Eversmeyer!"Category
