After moving to Atlanta, Millen joined the National Organization for Women (NOW) and became active in efforts to ratify the Equal Rights Amendment. She provides a detailed account of the divisions within ERA Georgia, Inc., and describes the resulting rift and consequent establishment of the Georgia Women's Party. A long-time union member and supporter of labor, Millen describes her work with the Georgia AFL-CIO, as editor of the Journal of Labor, and as a founding member of the Coalition of Labor Union Women (CLUW).
