Antrobus

Peggy Antrobus is a feminist author and activist from the Caribbean. Born in Grenada, Antrobus was educated in St. Lucia before attending Bristol University, the University of Birmingham, and the University Of Massachusetts, Amherst where she earned a doctorate in education in 1998. After her appointment as Advisor on Women's Affairs to the Government of Jamaica in 1974, Antrobus was head of Women and Development Unit (WAND) within the School of Continuing Studies at the University of the West Indies (UWI) through 1995. Additionally, Antrobus was involved in the United Nations World Conferences on Women.

The Peggy Antrobus Papers document Antrobus' career as a feminist activist and academic. The papers include written reports and correspondence from the breadth of Antrobus' career, as well as writings from her academic career and a particular emphasis on conference talks and lectures. In addition to academic and professional writing, there are career retrospectives and tributes, and a small amount of poetry and other personal reflections.

The collection was donated by Peggy Antrobus in 2021. The accession number associated with this donation is ML-2021-015.
