Femina Collections
Since 1970 the McCormick Library has collected material generated by people active in the second and third waves of the women’s liberation movement, both in the U.S. and abroad. This includes books, pamphlets, newsletters, newspapers, position papers, posters, broadsides, flyers, calendars, and other ephemera, including political buttons. The historical focus of the collection is primarily between 1965 and 1985, although many periodical subscriptions solicited from women’s organizations around the world continue to the present day, with new ones being generated each year. We also hold a number of archival collections representing diverse elements of the feminist movement.
