This article examines the relationship between the Japanese American redress movement and the oral interviews of two Japanese immigrant women, known as Issei women. Focusing on the shared images of Issei women in the Japanese American community and the perspectives and self-representations of the interviewees in the oral interviews, it explores how cultural consensus produced stereotypical, collective images of Issei women as submissive, persevering, and quiet persons. As the redress movement progressed in the 1960s to the 1980s, the Japanese American community conducted oral history projects to preserve memories and legacies of their wartime experiences. There are dissimilarities between the original audio recordings and the published transcripts regarding the perspectives of Issei women. This article shows how the community’s desire to preserve idealized images of Issei men and women reduced the accuracy and nuances in the women’s self-representations and the complexities of family relations. Also, contrary to the collective images, Issei women demonstrated how they were independent, assertive, and open individuals expressing their perspectives, complicated emotions, and importance in the family.

本文考察了日裔美国人的救济运动与两名日本移民妇女（称为 Issei 妇女）的口头采访之间的关系。聚焦日裔美国人社区中一成女性的共同形象以及受访者在口头采访中的观点和自我陈述，探讨了文化共识如何产生一成女性顺从、坚韧和安静的刻板集体形象。随着矫正运动在 1960 年代到 1980 年代的进展，日裔美国人社区开展了口述历史项目，以保存他们战时经历的记忆和遗产。关于一诚女性的观点，原始录音和已发表的成绩单之间存在差异。本文展示了社区保留理想化的 Issei 男女形象的愿望如何降低了女性自我表现的准确性和细微差别以及家庭关系的复杂性。此外，与集体形象相反，一诚女性展示了她们是如何独立、自信和开放的个体，表达自己的观点、复杂的情感和家庭中的重要性。
