Gail Rowe has been a League of Women Voters member in both Lexington, Kentucky, and in Boulder. She describes the many contributions of the League in the areas of public education, skill-and-confidence-building for women, and as an entryway for women into politics. She gives examples of League work on local and state political issues, including reform of both the judicial retention system and the Colorado constitution. She discusses the history of the League, from its beginnings to the inclusion of men. Finally, she reflects on the effect the League has had on her own life.

Joyce Davies discusses the history of her involvement with the League of Women Voters and how that involvement led her to join and lead other civic organizations. Joyce grew up near Providence, Rhode Island, went to college in Rhode Island, and taught school for about 10 years. When she married and moved to Boulder with her husband, she ended her teaching career and redirected her efforts to her family and the Boulder community. Joyce served with the League of Women Voters and soon became involved in the open space issues of the late 1950s and early 1960s. She served twice as president of the League. She also became involved in historic preservation and became a co-founder of Historic Boulder. She served on that board as well as on the city planning board. Joyce speaks of the friendships she formed with such politically-involved women as Ruth Wright, Janet Roberts and Ruth Correll through her work with the League and her continued involvement, at age 84, with unit meetings of the League at Frazier Meadows to discuss the issues of the day.

These photographs were taken for use in the Town & Country newspaper, 1966-1979.

Gwen Dooley looks back on decades of community and governmental service to Boulder, beginning in the 1970s and continuing to this day: as a neighborhood activist, city council member, member of both the Open Space and Parks and Recs boards, and PLAN-Boulder County member and chairperson. She discusses some of the important and colorful issues that Boulder has dealt with during that time, ranging from the serious - development and environmental issues - to the offbeat - how the city dealt with nude bathing at Coot Lake. She also talks about good government practices, political campaigning, and offers recollections of Boulder during the late 1950s and 1960s.
