Abstract

The article focuses on three women critics of the Warren Commission who, in the 1970s, independently investigated the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. These women, collectively referred to as "The Housewives Underground," challenged the official findings of the Warren Commission, motivated by a desire for truth and justice despite limited resources and societal expectations. One notable figure, Shirley Martin, conducted detailed research trips and interviews, including with Marguerite Oswald, demonstrating a complex personal struggle alongside her investigative efforts. The article highlights that while some critics avoided embracing conspiracy theories, their work reflects an active engagement in democratic participation and skepticism toward government narratives.
