This chapter explores Latvian women’s agency as identified by their participation in cultural and religious alternative movements, and how they experienced their agency. Two interviews are examined: the first provides an oral history that focuses less on the events narrated than on the meaning of memory and narrative. The second interview recounts the history of the events in the manner they are reconstructed by the narrator. Neither of the two women has interpreted her agency within these groups as in any way political. In both cases, the driving force was to improve and strengthen Latvian culture and identity and to maintain the dream of future Latvian independence.
