Shostak went to the Kalahari in hopes of finding one woman who could give her a personal account of what life as a !Kung woman is like. She interviewed a number of !Kung women, but had not found what she was looking for until she interviewed a middle-aged woman named Nisa. "I was struck by her gifts as a storyteller; she chose her words carefully, infused her stories with drama, and covered a wide range of experience." (Shostak, 7.) Shostak did fifteen interviews with Nisa, resulting in thirty hours of tape in the !Kung language.
