Bruce Callner oral history interview [sound recording], 1998 December 1.

Callner describes his childhood and the importance of the gender-neutral environment created by his mother. He recounts how, while studying law at Notre Dame University, he began to understand the importance of the Equal Rights Amendment as a way to protect all citizens equally under the law. When he came to Atlanta to work as a divorce lawyer, he was approached by Sherry [Shulman] Sutton to become involved in the coalition for the ERA in Georgia: he recalls his frustration when dealing with other men on the issue. Callner discusses the continued importance of creating a gender-neutral environment for his own children, and describes what he considers to be some of the most important accomplishments of the Women's Movement.
