A second project for the commission is the “Women’s Voices -- Women’s Stories”, a long term oral history documentation of women’s contributions to the local church. Interviews of 28 women have been conducted thus far encompassing a wide range of cultural, racial and ethnic backgrounds.  The AWC is working with the Archdiocesan Archives Office to begin the process of assembling these stories into written form in the hopes of creating a book to commemorate the contributions of women, lay and religious, in living out their Catholic identity in our local church.  The commission hopes to interview and record the lives of 100 Catholic women in the Seattle archdiocese and thereby add to the complexity and richness of the historical record.
