The book explores the early women's movement in Texas, highlighting Aunt Billie, a pioneering figure who emerged in 1896 to aid victims of alcohol abuse. Despite her lack of fame, she significantly influenced women's suffrage and challenged societal expectations. Intelligent and courageous, Billie lived a life marked by loneliness and devotion to her family, particularly her mother. Her profound impact on Austin politics and Texas womanhood reflects the sacrifices she made for love, raising questions about the true value of familial devotion.
