http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/288957740

Deeley describes herself as a "typical Midwesterner," growing up in Indiana with a homemaker mother who was very involved in the church and volunteer activities, and a father who worked for a newspaper. After moving to Atlanta in 1971, she recalls her work for the General Services Administration as an Equal Opportunity Specialist. Deeley recounts the divisions within NOW and the genesis of the Feminist Action Alliance, organized to focus on local issues. She describes the Alliance's efforts to establish a rape crisis center at Grady Hospital, train police officers to deal with rape survivors, and advocate for victims' rights.
