Returning to the Bunny Sandler Collection at the Schlesinger, Leigh finds a folder of letters between Bunny and Pauli Murray, chronicling their growing camaraderie and friendship. The two share stories from the year’s struggles - the fight for the ERA, which is gaining steam and a new stealth campaign for legislation that could become Title IX.  

These two landmark legislative goals are still up for grabs in this election year, when Women are proving a force to be reckoned with.  Women like activist Flo Kennedy, who is going to raise the roof, like that hurricane off the coast of Florida.
