Subseries 2. Professional Women’s Caucus
|
Scope and Content Notes: The Professional Women’s Caucus began as a conference at the New York University Law School on April 11, 1970; it was organized by Doris Sassower and JoAnn Evansgardner and was designed to represent women across professions. The theme of the conference was "Breaking Down the Barriers in the Professions" and presentations were given relating to women in the following professions: librarianship, engineering, health care, science, social work, and women’s role in professional organizations. As a result of this conference involving more than 500 women from across the nation, the Professional Women’s Caucus was formally established at a meeting held in Washington, D.C. in May of 1970. This series contains information about the original Professional Women’s Conference and the resulting formation of the Professional Women’s Caucus.

Subseries 4. International Women’s Year
|
Scope and Content Notes: The United Nations designated 1975 International Women’s Year in an effort to address the many issues facing women worldwide. In the US, Congress named the National Commission on the Observance of International Women’s Year as the sponsor of 56 meetings held around the country in July, 1975. This undertaking resulted in studies, reports, and workshops on rape, insurance, the legal status of homemakers, wife abuse, and many other concerns. At the end of the year, representatives from each meeting met for the National Women’s Conference in Houston, Texas, to compare notes and created a final report outlining problems and recommendations for change, which was submitted to President Carter and Congress in 1978. The documents in this series reflect all aspects of International Women’s Year from preparation through follow-up meetings which occurred from 1972 to 1983. Records are arranged chronologically.
