Louise Rowan Witherell Collection 1945-2004.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/190845080

The Witherell Collection provides a rich repository of primary documentation related to Louise Witherell, teacher and professor at several Midwestern colleges who published extensively on French literature in translation, among other topics, and who garnered attention through her struggle for womens rights in academia. Witherell wrote extensively about Andre and Clara Malraux and their writings, and also on Claire Bretecher and Camille Claudel. The majority of this collection includes notes, drafts of various works, correspondence, clippings and photocopies related to these subjects. A small amount of material predates Witherells academic career, and dates from the years leading up to the awarding of her PhD in 1948. It mostly concerns course requirements and dissertation related materials. There are also a number of materials on courses that Witherell taught, including course notes, booklets and an example of student work.
