Scope & Contents

The papers of the Detroit Women's Press were placed in the Archives of Labor and Urban Affairs by DWP staffer, Terry Moon in July of 1991 and opened for research in June of 2002.

The Detroit Women's Press was founded as The Women's Symbol Newspaper in January of 1973 by co-editors, Therese Littmann and Elizabeth Truly and other Detroit feminists. Dedicated to the exchange of ideas, opinions and news about issues of interest to metropolitan Detroit women and to increasing the awareness of the history and continuing struggle of women, the paper appeared irregularly until early 1975, when it ceased publication.

The Detroit Women's Press Collection consists primarily of Detroit and Michigan feminist publications.

Subjects

Feminism--United States--Periodicals

Women's Liberation Coalition of Michigan

Transfers

A few negatives of photographs appearing in Vol. 1:1 of Detroit Women's Press have been transferred to the Archives Audiovisual Collection.
