- Description:
- <html>Audrey Huynh (2019 BA International Relations) discusses her experiences surrounding the women’s marches that took place in January 2017.

- Author:
- Showers, Callan and Sridharan, Shriya
- Corporate Author:
- Stanford Historical Society
- Description:
- Callan Showers (2019 BA American Studies) recounts her experience attending the Women’s March in Washington, DC. She recalls feeling distraught and angry following the election and her excitement when she and other Stanford community members, with the support of professors Allyson Hobbs and Estelle Freedman, began organizing to attend the march in Washington DC. Showers describes her previous volunteer experiences working in Minnesota politics and talks with gravitas about how important it was to her to have travelled to the march with her mother. While Showers had hoped to meet up with the group of Stanford students that was attending, she was unable to find them due the huge crowds. She recalls the odd experience of being alone at the march, but also feeling incredibly supported by her fellow marchers. She describes meaningful signs she saw and chants she heard and discusses the impact of the march on her own political activism, including her involvement with the Stanford Women’s Action Network (SWAN).

- Catherine Xie : Interview for Stanford Community Women's March Oral History Project
- Author:
- Xie, Catherine and Marine-Street, Natalie
- Corporate Author:
- Stanford Historical Society
- Description:
- Catherine Xie, an undergraduate student at Stanford, recounts attending the Women’s March in San Francisco. Xie discusses her high school experience in Georgia, including the backlash she faced in helping to found a feminist club at her high school, and coming from a red state to the blue Bay Area. She contrasts the post-election reactions of her communities at home and at Stanford. Xie learned about the Women’s March through her involvement at the Women’s Community Center at Stanford and decided to attend the San Francisco march with her roommate Janet Coleman-Belin. Xie reflects on how her Chinese-American identity and views on feminism have influenced her political activism and the marches she has attended after the Women’s March.
