The Arthur and Elizabeth Schlesinger Library on the History of Women in America documents the lives of women of the past and present for the future and furthers the Radcliffe Institute's commitment to women, gender, and society.[1]


With the finest collection of resources for research on the history of women in America, the library's holdings are strong in women's rights and feminism; health and sexuality; work and family life; education and the professions; and culinary history and etiquette. Open to the public, the library welcomes all researchers who wish to use the collections, view exhibits, and attend events.

AfC feedback

[edit]

Frunzeska, thanks for this interesting read about a piece of lesbian feminist history. Just some advice—when writing an article, it's a good idea to check to make sure that your phrasing is not too close to the source. I had to remove or revise a few sentences because they were almost identical to ones in the source. This is called WP:Close paraphrasing and Wikipedia can't accept it for copyright reasons. A good way to avoid close paraphrasing is by bringing together information from several sources rather than relying heavily on one. I've added a few more sources to the "Further reading" section, which you can use to expand the article if you wish. Thanks for your submission. SpicyMilkBoy (talk) 23:50, 6 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
