Scope and Contents

From the Collection:

The Women of Wartburg Theological Seminary collection dates from 1983 to 2009 and measures 2.5 linear inches.

The collection includes copies of two booklets published by the seminary: "And the Women Come One Hundred and More" (1983), and "And Still the Women Come" (1987). These booklets contain biographical information and personal narratives from the women of the Wartburg seminary, which trace their experiences leading up to enrolling at seminary and their post-graduation plans. While some women were from Iowa, many more were from surrounding Midwestern states and locations outside the U.S.

The collection also includes copies of The Persistent Voice, a bimonthly newsletter published by the Women Theological Students of Wartburg (WTSW). These newsletters contain short articles, book reviews, letters, and anecdotes from WTSW members as well as seminary alumni across the country. The Persistent Voice was founded in January 1990, with Everist serving as faculty editor; in 2012 it moved to an online format. The collection contains its inaugural issue and subsequent issues through 2009.

Also included in the collection are three DVDs. Recorded in 2009, the videos provide a first-person account of Everist's life, starting with her early religious studies and ending with her arrival at Wartburg and completion of her Ph.D.
