"Portraits of the narrators are by photographer Joan Roth. For over three decades, Roth has traveled the world to photograph Jewish women in their own environments. Her award-winning photographs have been published and exhibited worldwide and are now in private collections and museums. The Jewish Women's Archive is profoundly grateful to her for her dedicated participation in Weaving Women's Words in Baltimore and Seattle. Her work provides a richly nuanced portrait of Jewish women in these communities and an invaluable record of American Jewish women at the turn of the twenty-first century."
 - Weaving Women's Words: Baltimore Stories
"The richly textured and evocative portraits created by photographer Joan Roth capture each of the thirty women interviewed at a particular moment in their lives while drawing us into the unique spirit that has moved and defined each of them over time."
- Gail Twersky Reimer, Ph.D., Jewish Women's Archive Executive Director
"The photographer, Joan Roth, photographed narrators in their own settings. The warmth and spontaneity of her portraits are achieved through the use of a hand-held camera and natural light and serve to unify visually the installation."
- Jill Vexler, Ph.D.
