Future Texas Governor Ann Richards had only begun her political career by the time of the National Women's Conference, but her reputation was already on the rise. After successfully managing two state legislative campaigns, she unseated a three-term incumbent to become the first woman Travis County commissioner. Congresswoman Bella Abzug personally selected Richards to speak for the Equal Rights Amendment resolution when it came to the floor. Richards addresses politically engaged students in this 1979 television news footage for Austin's KXAN-TV.
