2 interviews. The Linda Terry interviews focus on three areas of her life: the transition from her childhood as the daughter of the mayor of a rural town to her life on a central Iowa commune; her roles as a progressive woman, farm wife of a leading rural activist, and mother; and her experiences as a widow and single mother. The interviews are highly personal accounts as well as documents of the development of progressive politics in Iowa before the farm crisis emerged on the national level. Her discussions about the attendance of young progressives at the meetings of the USFA in the late 1970s provide essential history about continuity between farm radicals of the 1930s and 1980s.
