The interviews are part of the Women's Movement in the South series, containing interviews recorded 2010 onward, that focus on women's activism and gender dynamics that were central to the freedom movement and the backlash against it. Topics include reproductive activism, both anti-abortion and pro-choice; the emergence of second-wave feminism in the mountain South and its links to the civil rights movement; the War on Poverty and challenges to job discrimination inspired by Title VII; and the entry of women into the University of North Carolina. |
