Papers, 1966-1980 (inclusive).

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/122566085

The collection consists largely of papers relating to Ruthchild's teaching and feminist activities, with little material about her personal life. Series I consists mainly of agendas, minutes, flyers, and other materials from women's liberation organizations with which she was involved, both in California and in the Boston area. It includes a videotape of a women's karate class, materials probably written by Ruthchild, and correspondence about her writings. Most of the papers in Series II are from Ruthchild's work at Cardinal Cushing College or Cambridge-Goddard. The series includes correspondence and other materials about her employment; syllabi, reading lists, and lecture notes; student applications, papers, exams, and course evaluations; and some materials from professional organizations with which she was affiliated.
