- Abstract
This essay is a compilation of ten interviews with women ranging in age from twenty to seventy. The women are from New Orleans, Gulfport, and Biloxi. The ethnicity of the women are African American, Caucasian American, Austrian-born Caucasian, and Jewish. The women were identified and asked to participate in a study to offer their opinions and experiences about Hurricane Katrina as residents of Gulf Coast states. Women are sometimes overlooked or not heard. This essay gives women a chance to speak openly and frankly with their own voices. The media has referred to the people who were involved in the Hurricane Katrina disaster as everything from victims to refugees, however, in this article they will be referred to as survivors.
