Abstract:

Records, 1967-2009, of the Wisconsin Women's Network (WWN), a coalition of Wisconsin women's groups and individuals originally formed in 1979 as the Feminists Advocacy Network (FAN) to facilitate coordination and communications between organizations and to advocate for women's issues. WWN continued the work of the Governor's Commission on the Status of Women, a government organization dissolved in 1979. Also included are records of the Wisconsin Women's Education Fund (WWEF), originally founded in 1973 as the Wisconsin Feminists Project Fund, an independent organization which became a task force of the Wisconsin Women's Network. WWEF raised money to support the network, and it published Stateswoman, a legislative newsletter. The Wisconsin Women's Education Fund is extensively documented as both an independent organization and a WWN task force. Included also are papers of Ellen O'Brien Saunders, a WWEF founder, concerning her involvement with the Affirmative Action Executive Commission, the Employment Relations Study Commission, the Intergovernmental Personnel Act project, the International Women's Years, and the Institute on Comparable Worth; as well as materials for three major WWEF projects: two employment training programs and a book project.

The history of the Wisconsin Women's Network dates to an organization known as the Wisconsin Feminists Project Fund (WFPF) which was founded in 1973 to institute projects that would alleviate discrimination against women, chiefly in the areas of employment and education. Founding members included prominent Wisconsin feminists Margo House and Gene Boyer and donor Ellen O'Brien Saunders.

The fund was formed after members of the Wisconsin National Organization for Women visited Employment Service District offices throughout Wisconsin to review implementation of Affirmative Action policies. After identifying conditions that hampered equal employment for women, the NOW members negotiated with the Employment Security Division of the Department of Industry, Labor and Human Relations (DILHR) for a feminist training program for governmental and private employers. WFPF was formed to carry out that training.

In 1974 Governor Patrick J. Lucey contracted with WFPF to undertake a new project: Attitudes, Women and Employment. This project was renewed twice, and it resulted in the training of over 1000 state and private employees between 1974 and 1977. In 1975 WFPF obtained private funding and the support of the Governor's Commission on the Status of Women to produce a book about women in Wisconsin history, Uncommon Lives of Common Women, by Victoria Brown. In 1976 CETA funds underwrote WFPF's next project, Skilled Jobs for Women, a training program for women seeking non-traditional careers.

During the late 1970s organized feminism in Wisconsin experienced a number of setbacks, most serious of which was Governor Lee S. Dreyfus' announcement that he intended to discontinue the Governor's Commission on the Status of Women in 1979. Previously the commission had attempted to fill the need for an independent communications network and to advocate for women's issues. Its accomplishments were limited by budgetary concerns and the Legislature's desire not to fund advocacy groups. On February 2, 1979 a group of feminists representing Wisconsin's major women's organizations and civil liberties groups met in Madison to organize an independent Feminist Advocacy Network (FAN) that would assume the two functions of the Governor's Commission. Gene Boyer, who drew up the original proposal for the network, was named temporary chair. Other leaders included Kathryn F. Clarenbach, Catherine Conroy, Liesl Blockstein, Eunice Edgar, Louise Trubeck, and Margo House. In order to meet the requirements for non-profit organizations the network developed a relationship with WFPF cemented by an April 9, 1979 memoranda that made the network a beneficiary of WFPF fundraising.

By June 1979 FAN changed its name to the Wisconsin Women's Network. At this time it had twelve organization affiliates and over 100 individual subscribers. The network was formally introduced to the public on September 24, 1979. Early activities on which the network focused included the National Plan of Action drawn up by the International Women's Conference in 1977 and marital property reform. The network was governed by a board comprised of representatives of the subscribing organizations and ten members at large. The board selected the issues for network action. The network was organized into task forces to accomplish its goals; during its first year there were five task forces; by its third year there were 11. Marital property reform, which was the primary focus of the organization during its early years, was finally achieved in its fifth year. Other topics of concern included child care, economic and educational equity, health care, reproductive rights, women in criminal justice, and sexual violence. The network monitored legislation affecting women and it published Stateswoman, a legislative digest on Wisconsin women's issues.

After the formation of the Wisconsin Women's Network in 1979 WFPF entered into an agreement with the network to produce its newsletter, the Stateswoman. In 1980 WFPF changed its name to the Wisconsin Women's Education Fund (WWEF) and transformed itself into a non-profit task force within the network. Although the board of directors and core mission remained intact, the organization was overhauled to focus on educational projects including providing information on marital property reform and reproductive rights.

Mss 961	Part 1 (Mss 961): Original Collection, 1967-1996 Physical Description: 6.6 c.f. (17 archives boxes)  Scope and Content Note The records are arranged into two series: WISCONSIN WOMEN'S NETWORK records and WISCONSIN WOMEN'S EDUCATION FUND (WWEF/WFPF) records. The Wisconsin Women's Network records are subdivided into General Administrative Records and Task Force Records. The WWEF/WFPF records are arranged as Origins, Organizational Records, Ellen O'Brien Saunders Papers, and Subject Files. The WISCONSIN WOMEN'S NETWORK RECORDS include correspondence, financial information and budgets, minutes, and information on the formation of the network and on annual meetings at which policy was decided. The background information contains the initial organization proposal drawn up by Gene Boyer, FAN minutes, several drafts of the articles of incorporation and by-laws, and a list of historic highlights and task force activities, 1980-1984. The task force records are arranged alphabetically by name and then alphabetically by subject. Documentation variously includes action alerts, correspondence, minutes, background information, public statements and testimonies at legislative hearings, and press material. Except for a few isolated items, the majority of this subseries consists of photocopied or mimeographed material distributed to the general membership of the task force. The task force files are not true records which would have been in the hands of the various chairs, who carried out the real activities of the network, but rather mimeographed convenience copies apparently filed in the Madison office. Because of this provenance most task force records are incomplete. Most extensively represented are the files on Marital Property Reform and Reproductive Rights, although there is information on a wide range of issues concerning women and children. The WISCONSIN WOMEN'S EDUCATION FUND RECORDS (WWEF/WFPF) are those of co-founder Ellen Saunders who was born Ellen O'Brien on June 25, 1941 in Detroit, Michigan. She attended the University of Michigan and received a B.A. from Barnard College in 1963 and a master's degree in Education from Northeastern University in 1970. With her husband David Saunders, she moved to Wisconsin in 1971. Saunders worked as an executive assistant at DILHR, as well as coordinating Wisconsin NOW's State Compliance Task Force from 1972 to 1975 and serving on the WFPF board from 1973 to 1987. Saunders was also involved in the Intergovernmental Personnel Act Project, 1972-1973, studying career patterns of women in state service and compiling quarterly reports of progress. She researched and wrote publications for various state agencies including One Step at a Time: A Handbook for Office Workers in State Government, which was published by the Governor's Commission on the Status of Women (1976), and The Status of Clerical Workers: A Case for Pay Equity, which was published by the UW-Extension (1981). Saunders was a member of the state coordinating committee of the International Women's Year, and she was one of Wisconsin's delegates to the National Women's Conference in Houston in 1977. In addition, Governor Patrick J. Lucey appointed her to the Education Committee of the State Council on Affirmative Action (1976-1981) and the planning committee for the Institute on Comparable Worth in 1981. In the late 1980s Saunders left Wisconsin for Ohio where she worked on labor issues in state government. She then settled in Olympia, Washington in the early 1990s. There she headed a training and employment agency in state government. The records of WWEF/WFPF consist of four subseries: Origins, Organizational Records, Ellen Saunders Papers, and Subject Files. These records document the administration and operation of an organization created to alleviate employment discrimination against women at the height of the national feminist movement. Throughout the series there is much correspondence and paperwork between the organization, its project staff, and various state offices and agencies that document the strong influence of state government. The papers of Ellen Saunders, co-founder of the fund, document her personal involvement in other women's events and organizations in Wisconsin. The WWEF/WFEF series documents the years from 1967 to 1990, with the richest records relating to the years 1973-1981. Copies of The Stateswoman which WFEF/WWEF published for the Wisconsin Women's Network after 1979 are available in the SHSW Library. The Origins subseries chronicles the events leading up to the creation of WFPF. Included is detailed documentation such as resolutions, memoranda, help sheets, correspondence, reports, and a list of demands concerning the action of January 1973, in which members of Wisconsin Now visited offices throughout the state to review implementation of Affirmative Action policies. Also included are WFPF's articles of incorporation and bylaws. The Organizational Records span the period from 1973 to 1990. This material documents the way in which the organization changed its focus over time, specifically after making the transition from its status as an autonomous agency to becoming one of several task forces of a larger group. Records include minutes, officer reports, incoming and outgoing correspondence of leaders such as Margo House and Gene Boyer, and membership lists. Miscellaneous financial reports and budgets span the period 1974-1989, but detailed general ledgers and journals are limited to 1976-1977. The majority of the organizational records document WWEF/WFPF's three major projects: Attitudes, Women and Employment; Skilled Jobs for Women; and the publication of Uncommon Lives of Common Women. These records cover the years 1974 to 1977, the organization's most active and well publicized period. About Attitudes, Women and Employment, the organization's first project, there are proposals and contracts, three sets of correspondence, financial records, training materials, and progress reports. A thorough evaluation from 1976 summarizes the history, implementation, and success of the project. Skilled Jobs for Women is primarily documented by financial records and grant proposals. Material from the development and publication of Uncommon Lives includes research correspondence of author Victoria Brown, promotional materials, and financial records. The Ellen Saunders Papers focus on her activities as WWEF/WFPF co-director and as a feminist active in other organizations. Unfortunately there is no material on her activities outside of the Wisconsin Women's Education Fund after 1981 and no material on her personal or professional life after leaving Wisconsin in the late 1980s. There is one folder of chronologically arranged personal papers spanning the period 1970-1980 that includes information on employment, exchanges with friends and family, and correspondence with legislators and public officials addressing their stands on various women's issues. Also well documented is Saunders' leadership in the Affirmative Action Executive Commission, the Governor's Commission on the Status of Women, the Intergovernmental Personnel Act project, the International Women's Years, the National Women's Conference, and the Institute on Comparable Worth. These papers are alphabetically arranged by project name. Of them, the Affirmative Action material is most complete, including minutes and background information on the formation of the commission. The material on the Governor's Commission on the Status of Women is limited to Saunders' collected reference material and a 1978 draft of The Status of Clerical Workers. The other projects are generally documented by administrative correspondence, reports, and financial records. The Subject Files contain clippings and spotty reference materials on four topics related to WWEF/WFPF that interested Saunders: employment, maternity leave, equal rights legislation in Wisconsin, and women's organizations.
