Abstract:
Miscellaneous records of the Office of Women's and Gender Studies, as well as materials preceeding the office's establishment in 1974 which focus on the need for a women's studies program and document the office's development. The collection contains a correspondence file with various memos and announcements relating to courses, staffing, and other department functions; also included are minutes of the Women's Studies Advisory Committee. The collection also contains a questionnaire (1972-1975) given to faculty regarding women's issues being taught in their courses; the results were used to compile a cross-listing of courses with the Office of Women's Studies. Other records in the collection include correspondence regarding a lecture given by Sheila Tobias, a report on the campus day care program, brochures, newspaper clippings, and several issues of the Women's Studies News.
