SOURCE MATERIALS, 1972-1993

Summary: This series is devoted to documenting the rise and growth of the women's art movement of the 1970s. Brodksy most likely collected this material in the course of researching a chapter she was writing that was included in The Power of Feminist Art, edited by Norma Broude and Mary D. Garrard. The files vary in breadth and depth. Files contain early descriptions and organization objectives, histories of the organizations, board member lists, exhibit budgets, grants, artist bios, and exhibit catalogs.

Several of the country's important women's art organizations are represented here. HERA Gallery, MUSE Gallery, the Women's Caucus for Art (WCA), SoHo 20, and the Women's Art Registry of Minnesota (WARM). Taken collectively, the files give a picture of various women's organizations through the country that worked to promote women's art and educate others about women's art.

Of special note are extensive documents for the WWAC (Washington Women's Art Center).
