Project
Women Whose Lives Span the Century
In interviews conducted on June 17 and June 21, 1999, Donna Joftis interviewed Naomi Cherny about her experiences growing up during the Depression and World War II, pursuing education and professional work despite gender expectations, building Jewish community institutions in Lexington and Arlington, working in counseling and equal employment at Hanscom Air Force Base, officiating interfaith marriages as a justice of the peace, and her reflections on family, volunteerism, nutrition, exercise, and social change.
