We meet Dr. Bernice “Bunny” Sandler through her great niece, Rora Brodwin. Rora interviewed her Great Aunt Bunny twice – once when she was in the 7th grade and once when she was a college senior – both times for school projects about Title IX.  

However the first time Rora is too young to fully understand her Great Aunt Bunny’s pivotal role in the women’s movement and the second time Bunny is too old to remember the details. 

What happens when nobody is left who remembers a story? We bridge the generational gap to resurrect that lost history.
