The Lubbock Chapter of the National Organization for Women was organized in the late 1970s largely through the efforts of Edna Gott. She remained the driving force in the Lubbock's NOW chapter until her death in 1986. In 1989, the Lubbock chapter folded and the members joined the Texas Tech chapter. In 1991, the Texas Tech chapter ceased operations. During its life the Lubbock chapter attempted to bring attention to NOW related issues in the Lubbock community through various activities.
