(2018).Drifting: Feminist oral history and the study of the last female drifters in Iceland. Feminist Research, 2(1), 1-15. doi:10.21523/gcj2.18020101https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.11815/753This paper examines the story of the last female drifters in Iceland from the voices of women who remembered them. It examines the advantages of the woman-on-woman oral history interview when obtaining women’s perspectives on women’s history. An examination of women’s narrative techniques suggests that women’s narrative style is often consistent with a conversational style; therefore it is important to construct a space in woman-on-woman oral history interviews that carries a sense of place for a conversation. It also examines the woman-on-woman oral history interview as a continuation of women’s oral tradition in Iceland, especially an oral tradition from medieval Iceland called a narrative dance (ice. sagnadans). Lastly, it examines the shared features of the Icelandic #Metoo event stories and the Icelandic narrative dances, in relation to woman-on-woman oral history interviews.1-15eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessMetooWomen’s historyNarrative dancesWomen’s oral traditionFemale driftersFeminist oral historySagnadansarFlökkufólkMunnleg sagaMunnleg geymdKvennasagaKonurinfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleFeminist Research10.21523/gcj2.18020101
