Contains the following types of materials: correspondence / letters, clippings, reports / studies, organizational documents, books / manuals, leaflets / brochures, speeches. Contains information pertaining to the following war and time period: Cold War. General description of the collection: The Judith H. Stiehm papers consist almost entirely of published materials collected by Stiehm, presumably in the course of her research. Topics include the integration of women into the service academies, and recruitment, utilization, and effectiveness of women in military service. Two folders contain correspondence regarding Stiehm's publications (the book, BRING ME MEN AND WOMEN 1978, and the article, "Marine Corps Women : Male Chauvinist or Myth-Confounders?") from 1982-1983. Among the material is a folder marked "Morden's files" that contains copies of articles and clippings from mainstream and military press, 1974-1982. Presumably Stiehm had access to the files of Colonel Bettie Morden (1921-2001), soldier and military historian who wrote, THE WOMEN'S ARMY CORPS 1945-1978, for the U.S. Army Center of Military History (CMH). There are a number of items marked "Landrum" that presumably originated with Cecile S. Landrum, who served in the External Affairs Division of the Deputy Chief of Staff for Programs and Analysis. Approximately 35 issues of EQUAL OPPORTUNITY CURRENT NEWS, a monthly Department of Defense (DoD) publication containing news articles from mainstream press, dated between 1976 and 1987, are in the collection. There are the texts of 3 speeches by Major General Mary E. Clarke, Lieutenant Colonel Anna M. Young, and Major Ann Wright.
