The Search For Equity: Women at Brown University records (OF.1E.7)

Administrative history

In preparation for the centennial of women's education at Brown University, the university commissioned a collection of essays. Polly Welts Kaufman (1951) edited and wrote the introduction to the collection of ten articles. Kaufman and Karen Lamoree (then Christine Dunlap Farnham Archivist) distributed surveys to 14 classes of alumnae celebrating reunions in May 1990. Charlotte Lowney Tomas (1957) used the alumnae surveys for "A Wider World: Careers of Brown Alumnae" (309-345). Lamoree used other surveys for her article "A network of Women: Alumnae Volunteerism in Rhode Island" (279-307).

The Search for Equity: Women at Brown University, 1891-1991, was edited by Polly Welts Kaufman and published by the Brown University Press in 1991.
