VICTORIA FOE was a fish out of water at her Texas dorm; she clashed with her rich, southern roommates who pursued their M. R.S. degrees and were first in line at the stewardess auditions on campus. Victoria wanted to become a famous scientist. A brilliant Molecular Biology Ph.D. student, she struggled to get an advisor; her professor told her flat out, “There is no point in educating women; they will get married, or they will get pregnant, and it’s a complete waste of time and resources." The sting of discrimination set Victoria on the path of activism for women’s rights.

JUDY SMITH had a full scholarship to Brandeis University, where she majored in chemistry and led the women’s basketball team to an undefeated season her senior year. She spent a year in the Peace Corps in Nigeria before being airlifted out because of the outbreak of a Nigerian civil war. A chemistry professor refused to give her a recommendation for a P.h.D program in Molecular Biology at UT Austin because, he said, “I don’t believe in giving recommendations to women.” That sting of discrimination also set Judy on the path of activism for women’s rights.

BARBARA HINES, a tiny figure with a mass of brunette curls, talked a blue streak. With parents who immigrated from Berlin and landed in Brownsville, Texas, Barbara was raised with liberal attitudes. Afraid she’d be “small-town minded,” her parents sent her to Mexico City for school at seventeen. Her junior year at University of Texas Austin, she went to Spain, hitchhiked to Istanbul, and returned to college with a radical Peruvian boyfriend and strong anti-war beliefs. She couldn’t wait to raise hell: Barbara was on the path of activism for women’s rights.
