Description
Carol Ungar’s two-part oral history traces her life from Jewish Chicago to girls’ camps in Wisconsin, Montana, and Estes Park, then nursing, Denver, and lesbian self-understanding. She discusses growing up in an insular Jewish community, camp culture, horses, family expectations, gender roles, social awkwardness, alopecia, nursing school, and the long influence of her mother’s camping work. Ungar reflects on privilege, Jewish identity, women’s expectations before feminism, health, friendship, and the gradual process of recognizing and naming her sexuality. Her story highlights memory, family, camp life, nursing, Jewish community, gender, resilience, and LGBTQ identity.
