Apply your knowledge of course material to a short examination of womens activism on the local level.  Additional research may be necessary but integration of course material is essential.  Select a subject born any time between the mid-1930s and the early 1950s, preferably someone who became involved in academic, political or community issues.  Interview her/him using the guidelines we develop.  You may want to consider faculty or staff members if necessary.
