Abstract

For the final class session, we conducted a focus group to invite the women to share their own perspectives on the “Telling My Story” class and the collaborative anthology they had produced. Our intent was to give the women in the class space to discuss the writing and workshop process. Since the workshop was designed to offer the women at the facility a creative outlet, we wanted to elicit their feedback on class structure and curriculum. In this narrative summary, the women are generally referred to by the names they chose to publish under in in order to preserve confidentiality for those who chose it without creating confusion. This focus group was conducted in two three-hour segments, one for the afternoon session and one for the morning session, and the two sets of responses have been integrated here and divided by topic. This condensed narrative summary was developed from extensive notes taken by University of Wyoming student Julia Dohan.
