Summary/Abstract: Oral history is a well‑established field in the Czech Republic, similarly to women´s history of women and gender history. However, feminist oral history is totally unknown. The goal of this article is to depict Anglo‑American feminist oral history but also to seek the causes of this void. The article describes three stages of the development of Anglo‑American feminist oral history, the main protagonists,their approaches and theories. Feminist oral history is considered by the author as an important contribution to the oral history field in the domains of the oral history process and reflexivity. At the end, the article invites Czech oral historians to learn about the practices of feminist oral history. The author believes this could contribute to a shift of Czech oral history from its predominantly documentary nature to its more democratic and reflexive character.
