| What Others Say about Ruthe | |
|
"We didn't
have consciousness raising groups, we didn't even know what that was.
Ours was more a form of rebellion. It was more done not out of social
consciousness, but out of righteous indignation of what we felt were
our rights."
Ann Richards, former Governor of Texas |
|
| "Knowing
your political activism, quest for inclusiveness for all, and efforts
to preserve our social and political history, it is understandable why
the Austin American-Statesman called you a 'hero of democracy.'" Lloyd Doggett, Representative U.S. House of Representatives |
|
| "There's
something timeless about your mother." Harvey J. Graff, Ph.D., University of Texas, San Antonio |
|
| "I
admire the way you've lived your life. Somehow, you have found a way to
'follow your bliss,' and to live your life in the pursuit of interests
and ideas that are important to you. As a result, you have an integrity
and wholeness about you which is an inspiration to me and to others. For
me, this may be your most significant achievement because it has allowed
you to direct your talents to areas that help humankind." Mary Beth Rogers, Executive Director, KLRU, Austin, Texas |

"One
of Ruthe's gifts to women's history and history in our state generally
is that she has nudged and wrestled for and lobbied about and
exemplified the place of non-academicians in telling the stories and
lives and institutions of Texans." |
