Abstract | Marie Wotters Colton served in the North Carolina House of Representatives from 1979 to 1994. She discusses her background, the evolution of women’s political involvement in North Carolina from the 1970s, the re-emergence of the Republican Party during this time, and the growing strength of the Christian Right, all with reference to her own time in politics. She concludes with her opinion that the present political system is out of control and does not truly do a good job of representing people. |
