One of my very favorite authors of historical fiction thankfully asked the same question when writing about the past. Whose voices are heard? Not only were the stories her father told her *not* found in the history textbooks she was required to study in school, even her teacher disbelieved her when she tried to set the record straight. I'm so grateful she became an author who cares about recounting history, as well as being a writer of pure excellence.
