Note: This collection has not been fully processed and may be somewhat difficult to use. This means the container list may not have very detailed descriptions, or be completely accurate. Some items may also be fragile or deteriorated, requiring further preservation treatment. Handle fragile or deteriorated items with extreme care. Locations of materials are subject to change when the collection is fully processed at a later date; therefore, when citing materials do not depend solely on box and folder numbers as they may change.

Its objective is to introduce students to analytical tools and basic approaches to the study of women in a variety of fields.
