Premiere event of an ongoing oral history project of Kansas state legislators who served between 1960 and 2010. During this time, the Kansas Legislature underwent two major transformations: (1) an increase in women elected to serve and a modernization of processes and procedures (1970s-1980s), and (2) a wave of new-brand conservatism (1990s-2010s). These changes were also reflected on the national level.
