Abstract:
Papers of Catherine Conroy, a Wisconsin leader of the labor and women's movements, mainly consisting of correspondence, minutes, financial statements, photographs, and other records of her involvement with the Coalition of Labor Union Women, the Communication Workers of America, the University of Wisconsin School for Workers, and the Wisconsin Women's Network. Information on CWA consists largely of correspondence and research material about her 1974 sex discrimination suit against the union. The WWN and CLUW are each documented by by-laws, minutes, correspondence, and policy statements, but other organizations and governmental agencies with which Conroy was associated or to which she was appointed are only sparsely represented. Personal material includes a 1976 oral history transcript, miscellaneous correspondence, income tax records, biographical clippings, commemorative materials, and family photographs. In addition to Conroy, Joseph A. Beirne and Addie Wyatt are featured on the tape recordings.
