ABSTRACT
Memory-work is a feminist social constructionist method, which was developed in Germany by Frigga Haug et al. (1987 [with a second edition in 1999]). The method was developed explicitly to bridge the gap between theory and experience. It provides a way of exploring the process whereby individual woman become part of society and the ways in which women themselves participate in that process of socialisation. It is a group method, involving always the collective analysis of individual written memories. It is feminist in being explicitly liberationist in its intent.
