Publisher ULS Archives & Special Collections Address University of Pittsburgh Library Systemhttp://library.pitt.edu/archives-special-collections Scope and Content Notes The Women's History Anthology Collection concerns the historical role of the woman in the United States from Colonial times(1826) to 1974. This collection was duplicated from the file brought together by several individuals who were preparing an anthology of readings on the historical role of women in the United States.
The collection consists largely of published materials relating to the labor issues and social conditions of women in the late 19th and early 20th century. The collection covers labor activism, ethnic groups, and women's liberation movements in areas around the United States. The published material includes articles from books, pamphlets, periodicals, and newspapers. Other materials include manuscripts, oral interview transcripts, fables, poems, and songs. Each genre of material relates to a series in the collection. The items are arranged alphabetically within the series by author, organization, or title of article.
An addition of subject files relating to pertinent women's issues was added to the collection in 1976. This addition is considered a separate series in the collection and is arranged alphabetically according to subject. The items cover a wide range of social issues and consist of published material from periodicals, books, and pamphlets from 1973-1974. A bibliography of books and phamphlets on Women in China and the Women's Liberation Movement is included.
