Abstract:
This collection consists of meeting minutes, organizational materials, publications, and event materials created by Haverford College's Feminist Group and the group's later iteration, the Feminist Alliance, dating from 1983 to 2000.

The Feminist Group was founded by Haverford College students in 1983 to increase individual and community awareness of feminist issues and to provide a united feminist voice on campus. The group organized speakers, suggested modifications to the curriculum to better reflect feminist values, and educated its members and others on campus about feminist issues. The group became known as the Feminist Alliance in 1988. As the Feminist Alliance, the group published a literary magazine entitled "The Other Side of Silence" and coordinated Take Back the Night events on campus. The Feminist Alliance was active until the early 2000s.

This collection consists of meeting minutes, organizational materials, publications, and event materials created by Haverford College's Feminist Group and the group's later iteration, the Feminist Alliance, dating from 1983 to 2000.

This collection is arranged chronologically by record type.

The majority of these materials were held by Haverford College's Women*s Center before being transferred to the College Archives in 2017 and 2019.

Processed by Elizabeth Jones-Minsinger, completed July 2021.
