This article presents a composite biography of an orphaned girl and her mother in Medieval London. Though the mother was sound in mind and body, she had no control over her daughters inheritance and place of residence. In addition, her underage daughter was married without her consent. The composite biography can bring to life the otherwise dry renditions of families experiences that are present in court records and other historical documents.

In this paper, I describe how I used the computer to develop a grounded theory of the social meaning of money and information. In doing this, I take up Bryman and Burgesss (1994) challenge for qualitative researchers to articulate as fully as possible the processes associated with data analysis (p. 224). This account is written in the active voice using the personal pronoun, for I am acknowledging agency (Van Maanen, 1979, p. 249) in the transformation of data to theory.
在这篇论文中，我描述了我是如何使用计算机来发展金钱和信息的社会意义的基础理论的。在此过程中，我接受了Bryman和Burgess(1994)对定性研究人员的挑战，即“尽可能充分地阐明与数据分析相关的过程”(第224页)。这篇文章是用主动语态写的，使用人称代词，因为我承认在数据到理论的转化过程中能动性(Van Maanen, 1979, p. 249)。

The author uses her experiences with death and bereavement to select her research problem and to become a sensitive collaborator and listener with others who had the same experience of the loss of a loved one. From deep listening and opening of her heart to colleagues she began the integration of personal, empirical, theoretical, practical and spiritual knowledge into her research. A reconceptualization of maternal bereavement occurred. It is an open, fluid, dialectical process of change.

Proverbs, stories, and wives' tales have been used to teach, entertain and impart important cultural information for generations. For this paper, two colleagues and the author conducted ethnographic interviews with native Bahamians, primarily those residing on the family islands of Eleuthera and Harbour Island. They asked 56 informants, teenagers to octogenarians, to recall old sayings or tales which have been passed on to them over the years. Several hundred such sayings were recorded verbatim on tapes and in fieldnotes. Transcripts were analyzed to learn how Bahamian family life is depicted in wives' tales, proverbs, and other old sayings

This article reports on an hermeneutic interpretive study of letters 18 women wrote to each other annually for 25 years, from 1968 to 1993. Six themes related to personal success and achieve- ment emerged from readings and systematic study of this set of more than 250 letters. The stories in these letters connect the private and public worlds; they communicate the events experienced, things hoped for, and things not done.

This is a reflexive account of a study of the perceptions of young women of African-American descent on gender, race, and class. These abstractions come to life as these young women provide concrete instances of how these stratifications systems affect their everyday lives. The young informants clearly perceive the chal- lenges that these systems represent. In reporting the results of this study, the researcher is reflexive on two counts. First, she reflects upon the implications of her European-American heritage for the quality of her interviews and analysis. Second, she discusses the challenges of writing qualitative research reports. Not only was she inexperienced in how to write reports based on qualitative data, but she also felt constrained by the length restrictions from telling the whole story.

This paper is a case study of my experiences as a quantitative researcher who taught myself to teach qualitative research at the Ph.D. level. I share my processes of learning qualitative epistemologies, research designs, data collection methods, and reporting styles. I included conceptual schemas, bibliographies, and other resources for teaching qualitative research in the hope that my work will be helpful to others who want to learn to teach qualitative research methods.

This case study is part of a larger, ongoing project that considers exemplars to explore successful aging among individuals who require some form of long-term care. The project departs from narrow, decontextualized operationalizations of successful aging to begin to develop holistic conceptualizations that involve the daily, multifaceted lives of elders in their families. The project also departs from the dominant misery perspective that emphasizes deficits, ill- ness, and decline in old age. Instead, it contributes to developing a resource perspective that seeks to maximize human adaptation, assets, and skills in later life. This project seeks to understand the dynamics and spirit of successful aging, as this process is illustrated by individual elders who are, in spite of severe disability and the need for ongoing services, identified by their colleagues as role mod- els, as exemplars of successful aging.

While the range and nature of Canadian women's work has varied at times and places due to a variety of factors, that work has usually contributed to the family economy. The discussion here focuses on women who were married during the period from just prior to the First World War until the end of the Second World War. Data were gathered from a sample of 22 ever-married women using unstructured face-to-face interviews. Immersion and crystallization were used to analyze the data. Similarities were found in women's experiences during early transitions in marriage, including the marriage bar and making ends meet. Fairly quickly, however, the effect of socioeconomic status became more salient. Four categories of women's experiences were identified, including volunteer work, paid work for extras, necessary but hidden paid work, and family provisioning by single women. It is apparent from this study that women's work included not only paid and unpaid work, but Goffmanian labor that contributed to their families' class and status

In this paper, we explored the effects of doing research on seven researchers engaged in a study of couple decision-making. While not focused on oppression of women in marital decision-mak- ing, our interviews revealed a great deal of it. The seven members of our research team were affected, with age, marital status, and prior attitudes accounting for much of the variation in how deeply research- ers were affected. This study explores these issues and makes practi- cal and theoretical points about their importance.
