The Lubbock Chapter of the National Organization for Women was
organized in the late 1970s largely through the efforts of Edna Gott. She
remained the driving force in the Lubbock's NOW chapter until her death in
1986. In 1989, the Lubbock chapter folded and the members joined the Texas Tech
chapter. In 1991, the Texas Tech chapter ceased operations. During its life the
Lubbock chapter attempted to bring attention to NOW related issues in the
Lubbock community through various activities.
