    This site is a collection of interview transcripts taken by Kelly Anderson of women describing their experiences during the Women's Movement. One woman by the name of Dolores Alexander describes how her father felt there was no need to educate her and refused to pay for her schooling while he paid for her brother's college in full. His reasoning was that she was a woman and was only going to have kids and had no need for an education. Another woman by the name of Virginia Apuzzo describes growing up as a lesbian in a world that held no tolerance for people like her. I think these transcripts give us a first hand look at what it was like to be in their shoes.
