Most of the narratives about the women’s liberation movement focus on the Northeast, the Midwest or the West Coast, not the South and certainly not Austin, Texas. This omission inspired Laurie Green, an associate professor of history at The University of Texas at Austin, to create a women’s activism memoir project. Green’s students interviewed women’s liberation activists who had either attended UT or lived in Austin in the ’60s and ’70s, including Martha Cotera, Alice Embree and Barbara Hines.
