Simpson talks about her childhood around Georgia, and recounts that her grandmother was a very important influence in her later work with the Women's Movement. Simpson believes that her active involvement in the Women's Movement began through her experiences at the Unitarian Church. She states that it was through one of her church's women's groups that plans for a "women's fair" were developed, and that A Women's Place was a natural progression from that fair. Simpson discusses the successes of A Women's Place -- most notably in bringing women and women's groups together, and in creating and editing the Creative Loafing insert, Femme (later Atlanta Woman). She also talks about the organization's problems. Simpson ends by discussing the Women's Movement and how it has benefited younger generations, and discusses the problems of the Women's Movement, citing its non-inclusiveness as a major fault.
