It is mostly on American women, but contains some information on worldwide women's activities. The collection is organized into 417 subject folders, each containing a combination of bibliographies, clippings from major newspapers, popular and academic journals, newsletters, reports and miscellany. These items record women's history in the years surrounding the Women's Liberation Movements, Amendments to Title IX, and other distinctive and often contentious events.
