Women's Lived Experiences During the Coronavirus Pandemic

By: Amy Roost, Joanell Serra

Narrated by: Amielynn Abellera, Frankie Corzo, Karen Chilton, Samara Naeymi, Suzanne Toren

(Her)oics: Women’s Lived Experiences During the Coronavirus Pandemic draws together the stories of 52 women across the US during the Covid-19 pandemic. The collection encompasses the perspectives of women who are: frontline responders and recovering patients; going out to work, staying home to work, and losing their jobs; living with multiple generations and living in isolation; women grieving loved ones and celebrating new love; women preparing to give birth and supporting the dying.

Although differing based on location, age, race, and health, they share the unique capacity of women to bring their strength, ingenuity, and love — for others and for self — to an uncertain time. The anthology is inspired by both the risks of the pandemic inherent to women and their tremendous role in the country’s response.
