2014.0033 [PAPERS OF SUSAN HAWTHORNE]
Date Range of Records: 1968-2014
Creator(s):
- Hawthorne, Susan [-]
Comprises records from all aspects of Susan Hawthorne's life from her student activities to her role as an author and publisher. They include her early women's liberation and political involvement; her literary involvement as a writer, publisher and conference organiser; written drafts of her publications: correspondence with her mother and friends; the lesbian feminist movement; and her activities as a writer and circus performer for Performing Older Women.
The arrangement of this collection has been carried out by Susan Hawthorne and it is a box list, that is, it describes the content of each box rather than the detail of each file within each box. Nevertheless, it was her practice to arrange her papers into one or more multi-subject files per year and this arrangement has been followed for these papers. Her manuscripts are also arranged by year. Boxes are titled by Susan Hawthorne's name and a sequence number in most cases, and their contents are well described.
