Publication of Louise Noun’s Strong Minded Women
Published by Iowa State University Press, 1969
“While researching my book Strong-Minded Women: The Emergence of the Woman-Suffrage Movement in Iowa, I became aware of how little primary women’s source material has been saved. The Arthur and Elizabeth Schlesinger Library on the History of Women in America, at Radcliffe College, was a good source of information, and I realized that Iowa needed something like that. If we do not consciously collect these bits and pieces of Iowa’s history as seen through women’s eyes, a very valuable part of our state’s heritage will be lost.”
