He is probably best known for  Even Cowgirls Get the Blues  published in 1976 and made into a 1993 film that starred Uma Thurman and a large cast of notable stars. Robbins was the narrator of the film. He has also published a children's book and a collection of non-fiction essays, reviews, and short stories"," Robbins was born July 22, 1932 in Blowing Rock, North Carolina. His parents were George Thomas Robbins and Katherine Belle Robinson. He has two younger sisters. The Robbins family moved to Warsaw, Virginia in 1942. After he graduated in 1950 from Hargrave Military Academy in Chatham, Virginia, Robbins enrolled at Washington and Lee University. He left that school after his sophomore year and enlisted in the Air Force in 1953. He spent a year in Korea and two years in the Special Weather Intelligence unit of the Strategic Air Command in Nebraska. He was discharged in 1957 and returned to Virginia where he enrolled at Richmond Professional Institute (RPI is the forerunner to Virginia Commonwealth University)."," Robbins lived in Richmond's Fan District and became part of the local bohemian art scene. He was a regular at a number of bars on W. Grace Street, including the Village Cafe. He was an editor for the RPI student newspaper, the  Proscript . He also wrote columns for the paper,   Robbin's Nest  and  Walks on the Wild Side , which contained early elements of his characteristic irreverent writing style."," He graduated from RPI with a degree in journalism in 1959. He worked briefly for the   Richmond Times-Dispatch  as a copy editor before moving to Seattle in 1962 to seek a Master's degree at the Far East Institute of the University of Washington. In Seattle for the next several years he held a number of jobs including working for the   Seattle Magazine ; and hosted a weekly   underground  radio show at KRAB-FM. Robbins said that it was in 1967, while writing a review of a Doors concert, that he found his literary voice."," In the late 1960s he moved to South Bend, Washington, where he wrote his first novel.

Series III is composed of other organizations in which she was active, but of sufficient quantity to justify its own subseries. The material in this series is divided alphabetically. Series IV is a collection of her speeches and articles. The speeches in this series are unidentified by audience or sponsor or affiliated with a group not otherwise not listed in another series. Additional speeches may be found in organizational series by checking folder headings. Series V contains material regarding political candidates and issues.

Series VII contains material relating to her work with St. Paul's Episcopal Church.
