The papers consist primarily of correspondence, and also include Deming's writings and material she collected, documenting her activities, thoughts, and friendships. The papers provide an overview of her early writings and a complete view of her writing and attempts to publish after the late 1960s. The collection contains documents by and about numerous female and male writers, publishers, photographers, painters, and political activists from the early 1940s through the early 1980s, mostly in the United States. The papers document the peace movement and its use of nonviolent direct action in the 1960s, and shed light on the 1960s civil rights movement and on the women's movement and lesbian activism in the 1970s and 1980s. The papers also document Deming's long-term relationships, including those with Mary Meigs and Jane Gapen Watrous Verlaine, and provide some information about women witches.
