The Susan Redfern papers date from 1975 to 1986 and measure 5 linear inches. The papers consist of newsletters from various Iowa City women’s organizations, including WRAC, N.O.W., and Better Homes and Dykes. Also included are various materials about reproductive health, including a birth control handbook, rape and security tips, and a sponge kit from the Emma Goldman Clinic. Correspondence in the collection demonstrates the broad advocacy for women’s rights by both Redfern and others in Iowa City, and includes letters from senators regarding the E.R.A., a letter to the president about Linda Eaton’s lawsuit, and a mailing from a Unitarian minister regarding pending abortion legislation. Other materials illustrate a strong desire to inform and educate, such as a training packet from the Domestic Violence Project, an abortion fact sheet, a publication on the politics of clothing, and Fat Politics, a collection of writings on fat issues and positive self-image.
