JoAnn Evansgardner and Gerald Gardner have long been active participants in the Civil Rights Movement, joining the NAACP in 1963 and NOW in 1968. JoAnn, born in 1925, spent much of her childhood in the Hazelwood neighborhood of Pittsburgh, but left the city for North Carolina during World War II. After driving vehicles for military officers and trucks for the 2nd Army, she returned to Pittsburgh in 1945 and worked at Mellon Institute on research projects for Union Carbide & Co. Supported by the Institute, JoAnn was able to attend classes at the University of Pittsburgh. She also met and married physicist Gerald Gardner during this time and changed her name from Evans to Evansgardner. After earning her pre-med degree in 1950, Evansgardner lived with Gardner, a native of Ireland, in Dublin for five years before again returning to the University of Pittsburgh to pursue a PhD. in physiological psychology. Evansgardner went on to teach at Carnegie Mellon from 1964 -1966 and give lectures at other institutions, while Gardner worked a chief scientist at Gulf Oil.
Scope and Content Notes Evansgardner and Gardner joined the National Organization for Women (NOW) in 1968 and were active at the local, state, and national levels throughout the 1970s and 1980s. Evansgardner served on the National Board of NOW and as the Eastern Regional Co-Director, while Gardner served as Director and Treasurer of the First Pittsburgh Chapter. They initiated a lawsuit against the Pittsburgh Press newspaper to ban sex discrimination in want ads, worked for the passage of the Equal Rights Amendment, and helped various other complainants with cases regarding sex and race discrimination. In addition to NOW, Evansgardner and Gardner have been involved with many other feminist, anti-racist, and political activist groups, including the feminist press KNOW, Inc., ACLU, NAACP, Women's Political Caucus, Professional Women's Caucus, International Women's Year, National Women's Conference, and various reproductive rights groups.

National NOW Scope and Content Notes In response to the failure of the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission to implement Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, which would prohibit employment discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, or national origin, NOW was established on June 30, 1966 in Washington, D.C., by women attending the Third National Conference of the Commission on the Status of Women. Since its formation, NOW has strived to eliminate discrimination and harassment in the workplace, schools, the justice system, and all other sectors of society; to secure abortion, birth control and reproductive rights for all women; to end all forms of violence against women; to eradicate racism, sexism and homophobia; and to promote equality and justice in our society. Evansgardner served as the Eastern Regional Director of NOW and organized the Eastern Regional Conference in Pittsburgh in 1973.

Pennsylvania NOW Scope and Content Notes Formed in 1971 and incorporated in 1972, Pennsylvania NOW grew out of a need for communication and organization between localized chapters across the state. Many chapters, already in existence, had been working on such issues as girls' participation in sports, elimination of sexism and racism in children's books, equal access to educational institutions, and affordable day care facilities. Although these efforts were often successful, certain issues – particularly the passage of the Equal Rights Amendment in Pennsylvania – required the widespread coordination afforded by a state chapter. Pennsylvania NOW also provided isolated individuals without local chapters a way of getting involved in the organization. This series is made up of materials relating to the business of Pennsylvania NOW as well as information about its various activities. It also contains appointment books, calendars, and notebooks, which were used to keep track of the many events Evansgardner and Gardner planned and attended. One notebook also includes brief personal accounts of sexism collected from other individuals.

Education Topics Scope and Content Notes Many universities first began offering Women's Studies programs and classes in the late 1960's and early 1970's. Evansgardner collected brochures and professors' notes from these early attempts. Although most university programs were open to women by this time, female students and faculty were still discriminated against and underrepresented in many disciplines. This series documents this period in women's history through pamphlets on women in law schools, statistics on the number of female students graduating from particular programs, and educational lawsuits. Lawsuits include Braden vs. the University of Pittsburgh, in which a group of women accused the university of discriminating against and underpaying female faculty, failing to support their research, and providing inadequate daycare for working mothers. The second half of the series contains information on Title IX, which passed in 1972 and requires gender equity to boys and girls in all educational programs that receive federal funding, including school sports teams. The integration of women into school sports generated many questions and controversies, and NOW formed a Sports Committee to address problems. This series also includes a section on daycare and other child care facilities.

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.

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.

Legal Topics Scope and Content Notes NOW was active at every level of government and worked to eliminate sex discrimination. The organization participated in demonstrations, court cases, and proffered advice when consulted. NOW was also in constant contact with local and federal agencies designed to enforce current antidiscrimination laws. In some instances NOW was simply involved to offer support, but remained active in as many ways as possible in order to help achieve equal rights for women.
Arrangement This series is divided into four subseries reflecting this involvement: Subseries 1. Equal Rights Act Subseries 2. Sex Discrimination in the Work Place Subseries 3. EEOC and PHRC Subseries 4. Other Legal Concerns
Subseries 1. Equal Rights Act Scope and Content Notes In 1923, the Equal Rights Act (ERA) was written by Alice Paul, head of the National Women's Party, and introduced into Congress by Senator Curtis and Representative Anthony later that year. The ERA was written in response to the 14th Amendment that granted equal rights to all men, but because of wording did not include women. It was reintroduced in every session of Congress from 1923 to 1970 and was buried or defeated every year. In 1971, the House of Representatives finally approved ERA without amendments, but the Senate did not approve it until 1972. Congress agreed to set an arbitrary time limit of seven years for ratification by the states. After much political action by NOW and other women's groups, the deadline for ratification was extended to June 30, 1982. On the deadline date, ERA was stopped three states short of ratification. Because these three states failed to ratify ERA there is no federal protection for equal rights, and the bill is currently reintroduced into Congress every year. This subseries includes information on the Equal Rights Amendment, 1968-1982. Materials included are briefings, positions and statements from legislators, testimonies, mailings and correspondence, publications, newsclippings, and information from campaigns and rallies attempting to extend the deadline for ratification.

Sex Discrimination in the Work Place Scope and Content Notes Sex discrimination in the workplace, specifically in job advertisements, hiring, and actual positions held once hired, was a particular interest of Evansgardner and Gardner and they participated in several court cases surrounding these issues. Most notable are NOW v. Pittsburgh Press, Cease v. A & P, Weeks v. Bell, and Sharon Johnson v. University of Pittsburgh. NOW v. Pittsburgh Press was a court case in the early 1970's dealing with sex discrimination in want ads. NOW fought to compel the Pittsburgh Press to eliminate discriminatory headings because want ads were being published under headings listing gender qualifications and, within these headings, were stereotypical job ads. For example, technical jobs were listed under the "Male" heading while clerical jobs were listed under the "Female" heading. On the rare occasion that a job was listed under both headings, there were significant differences in pay scales. Cease v. A & P and Weeks v. Bell were two cases, also in the 1970's, in which women were being discriminated against after they were hired. The two companies were discriminating in the areas of: job classification, compensation, seniority, promotions, scheduling and overtime, benefits and terms and conditions of employment. Sharon Johnson v. University of Pittsburgh was a case in the 1970's concerning the issue of tenure denial based on gender. This subseries includes research, correspondence, laws, ordinances and guidelines, press, and statements and positions.

EEOC and PHRC Scope and Content Notes The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) and the Pennsylvania Human Relations Commission (PHRC) are two organizations that work to eliminate discrimination based on sex, color, race, or religion. When a person has a complaint toward an employer or other individual, these organizations work to investigate the charge. If it is determined that discrimination did, in fact, occur, it is the responsibility of these associations to enforce antidiscrimination laws. While the EEOC works on the federal level, complaints must be reviewed by local organizations before they can legally conduct their own investigations. In the early 1970s, NOW accused PHRC of improperly handling investigations, encouraging complainants to accept lower results, and discriminating against its own employees. As a result of this accusation, an appeal to investigate PHRC was presented to Governor Thornburgh. This subseries includes general information, complaints, and information relating to the investigation of PHRC.

Other Legal Concerns Scope and Content Notes NOW and Evansgardner were interested in all types of sex discrimination and did not limit themselves to discrimination in the workplace. They corresponded with several individuals and provided support and suggestions in a variety of situations, including sex discrimination in the public schools. They also kept current with court cases and laws and opinions related to sex discrimination throughout the 1970's. Evansgardner also participated in several of her own court cases. After PHRC awarded a position she had applied for to a less qualified male candidate, Evansgardner accused the commission of sex discrimination. This subseries includes materials relating to legal disputes within NOW, court documents, correspondence, photos, and legal documents such as bills and orders.
