| Abstract: | This collection contains evidence of the work and interests of Women of Brown United, a women's liberation group founded at Brown University, Providence, RI, in September 1970. WBU advocated for equal representation of women in faculty positions, laid the groundwork for a women's studies concentration and a women's center, and called for the addition of medical practitioners dedicated to women's reproductive healthcare on campus, among many other successful efforts. Women of Brown United endured as a Brown organization until the early 1990s. Materials date from 1972 and include a clipping, a journal, and writings by organization members. |
