Barbara Koser Konigsberg interview, 2001, September 14.

Konigsberg discusses her role as an activist and VISTA volunteer in Missoula during the early 1970s. She organized the first all-female fire-fighting brigade and a number of consciousness-raising groups at this time. The activist groups she was a part of clashed with university administration and community police, as in the take-over of the ROTC building. Kongsberg also describes the cross-activism involving, in addition to the feminists, the anti-war movement and the civil rights movement participants.
