New Audio Story on ’77 National Women’s Conference
A new exhibit at the University of Houston Libraries will open on November 5.
The Spirit of Houston: A Retrospective 40 Years in the Making celebrates the 40th anniversary of the 1977 National Women’s Conference, the historic event held in Houston, Texas at which over two thousand delegates from 50 states and 6 territories, as well as 32,000 observers, gathered to create a National Plan of Action with 26 resolutions on women’s rights.
The exhibit, hosted by UH Special Collections, will feature materials comprising documents and ephemera from the Marjorie Randal National Women’s Conference Collection in the Carey Shuart Women’s Research Collection.
