Audrey Beck Papers

Title: Audrey Beck Papers

The collection chronicles the eighteen year political career of Audrey Beck focusing on her terms as State representative (1969-1975) and State Senator (1975-1983). The collection includes materials on Beck's campaigns, her House and Senate terms, committees on which she sat, issues with which she was particularly involved (women's issues, education and tax reform) as well as material on her career prior to entering politics. Included are correspondence, legislative documents, clippings, memoranda, photographs, reports, publications, speeches and related materials. Although she began her career as a district representative for Mansfield, CT, the significant portions of the collection are those that document her senatorial years in the Connecticut General Assembly. The Beck Papers also serve as a companion collection to the Papers of Chase Going Woodhouse (various positions in public service, 1925-1980) and Dorothy Goodwin (54th District, 1974-1984), colleagues of Beck. The three collections together present a fairly complete picture of a generation of women in the Connecticut legislature.
