Diane L. Fowlkes papers ca. 1959-1998.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/55053759

These papers document Fowlkes' 25-year career as a professor of Political Science and Women's Studies at Georgia State University, including her promotions, her teaching activities, and her committee work. The collection highlights particularly her instrumental role in the development of the Women's Studies programs at the university, tracing the progression from the Women's Studies Group in 1974 to the founding of the Women's Studies Institute in 1994. The papers also provide significant information on Fowlkes' wide-ranging professional activities, her grants and awards, and her service to associations, especially the American Political Science Association and the National Women's Studies Association. Materials relating to Fowlkes' articles, papers, and books, particularly the research and drafts for her book, "White Political Women: Paths from Privilege to Empowerment" (1992), are well represented. Also included are photographs, audio and videotapes, artifacts, and a small amount of biographical material documenting Fowlkes' life prior to her career at Georgia State.
