The Records of the Associated Women Students consist of correspondence, meeting minutes, reports, and pamphlets. These materials document the activities of female students involved in this organization. The records cover three decades of the organization's more than 50-year presence on the University of Iowa campus, from 1916 to the early 1970s. One file includes the records of the Intercollegiate Association of Women Students (IAWS). Helen Reich, associate director of Student Affairs, was appointed to the Governor's Commission on the Status of Women for 1969-1970. Her research file for these years is included.
