Women's Records Project of Georgia, Inc., International Women's Year oral history project tapes

 Collection
Identifier: 1978-0496M

Scope and Contents

These are the records of a project to document the experiences of Georgia delegates, elected at a state meeting, to the International Women's Year National Women's Conference in Houston, Texas, November 1977, where they voted on the recommendations made by the states on national women's issues. The purpose of the meeting was to pass a National Plan of Action with planks ranging from better enforcement of current laws affecting women to broad demands for national health care, full employment, and disarmament that affect all citizens. Like delegations from the other 14 states that had not ratified the Equal Rights amendment, the Georgia delegation was made up of women with widely opposing views. Records contain tape recordings that describe both the Georgia and the national meetings, correspondence with participants, interview plans, biographical information, and indexes to the tapes.
