SCOPE AND CONTENTS OF THE COLLECTION
The collection contains correspondence, calendars, speech files, draft and published writings, extensive background and conference materials, audio and video recordings, minutes, reports, financial information, and publications related to Arvonne Fraser's involvement with women's organizations, politics, government agencies, and educational institutions.
The major strengths of the collection lie in its documentation of women's issues in the latter part of the twentieth century. A significant portion relate to Fraser's involvement in the women's rights movement and her leadership of feminist organizations. In addition the papers document her role in shaping cooperative projects, independent research, and American policy aimed at improving the status of women and girls in the United States and developing countries.
Papers related to the Women's Equity Action League document Fraser's earliest activities as a leading women's rights advocate and represent the influences that shaped her later concentrations upon women's educational and economic opportunities. Materials from this period primarily focus upon the status of American women and include materials regarding the League's outreach activities, legislative concerns, and legal aid services.
Papers related to the United Nations Decade for Women comprise a central core of the collection and are closely related to the sections regarding her coordination of the U.S. Office of Women in Development and her direction of the Women, Public Policy and Development Project at the Hubert H. Humphrey Institute of Public Affairs of the University of Minnesota. Papers from these sections add an international dimension to the documentation of women's issues and chronicle Fraser's emerging role from volunteer activist to professional administrator and policy analyst.
Other papers document Fraser's activities in the political campaigns of national and state democratic candidates, particularly the congressional campaigns of her husband Donald M. Fraser. Her political support of her husband is further evidenced by her long role as his office manager and administrative assistant. Materials pertaining to the Women's Equity Action League, particularly those related to Social Security, indicate how Fraser's advocacy of women's issues is reflected in her husband's legislative work and how her experience with the legislative process helped shape League activities.

United Nations Decade for Women, 1970-1996 (bulk 1975-1985) |
|||||||||||||
| This series contains extensive background and conference materials related to the observance of the United Nations Decade for Women and forms a central core of Fraser's papers. The series has been further organized into seven sections: United Nations Agencies, National and International Organizations, Subject Files, Preparatory and NGO Conferences, World Conference on International Women's Year (Mexico City, June 19-July 2, 1975), World Conference of the U.N. Decade for Women (Copenhagen, July 14-30, 1980), and World Conference to Review and Appraise the Achievements of the U.N. Decade for Women (Nairobi, July 15-26, 1985). In addition to documenting the planning, proceedings, and recommendations of the world conferences, this series also contains a wealth of information about the legal rights, political standing, familial status, educational opportunities, and social and economic conditions of women throughout the world as well as the cultural differences between them. | |||||||||||||
| Fraser participated in the Decade for Women as an advisory member of the U.N. Commission on the Status of Women responsible for conference planning (1974), as a U.S. delegate to the first and second conferences, and as a participant in the third conference. While director of the Office of Women in Development, Fraser also served a second term on the U.N. Commission on the Status of Women (1978) and organized and chaired a group of experts for the Development Assistance Committee of the Organization of Economic Cooperation and Development (1978-1980). As Director of the Women, Public Policy and Development Project at the University of Minnesota, she helped organize preparatory conferences held before the third conference and served a third term with the U.N. Commission on the Status of Women as U.S. Ambassador (1992-1994). | |||||||||||||
| The first item in this series is a 1996 reprint of Fraser's analysis of the Decade for Women first published in 1987. This analysis details the history of the world conferences, examines the discussions that occurred during the conferences, and comments on their resulting recommendations. Fraser's analysis doubly serves as a synthesis of the significance of the papers included within this series. | |||||||||||||
| Records pertaining to United Nations Agencies include documents, reports, and studies produced by various U.N. agencies concerning activities and programs related to the Decade for Women. In general these materials pertain to the recommendations adopted at each conference. A "World Plan of Action" formulated at the 1975 conference established minimum goals for improving the status of women and recommended steps for integrating women into world economic and social developments. Recommendations from the 1980 conference resulted in a "Programme of Action" that focused on health, education, and occupational issues. The 1985 conference resulted in "The Forward-looking Strategies for the Advancement of Women to the year 2000." These strategies contain 372 paragraphs advocating women's advancement through the whole strata of societal systems. Copies of the recommendations are available within the files pertaining to each world conference. | |||||||||||||
| Proceedings of the Commission on the Status of Women are also included within the group of files pertaining to United Nationa Agenices. Included within the proceedings are reports of the U.S. Delegation that comment on progress made toward the conference recommendations. | |||||||||||||
| Materials grouped together as National and International Organizations also consist of reports and studies related to the Decade for Women; however, these were generated by government agencies, independent institutions, and voluntary associations not affiliated with the United Nations. | |||||||||||||
| The Subject Files consist primarily of printed materials and represent background materials Fraser collected in advance of the 1975 conference. Included are bibliographies, working papers, statistics, published and unpublished reports, magazine excerpts, newsletters, and additional materials. Many of the items within this group were distributed by agencies of the United Nations, particularly by the Secretariat, the General Assembly, UNESCO, and UNITAR, as well as by the U.S. Department of State. One issue that was of particular interest to Fraser was the Percy Amendment to the U.S. Foreign Assistance Act of 1973 that set a new course in American policy by requiring foreign aid programs to include women. In response to this amendment the Agency for International Development created the Office of Women in Development in late 1974. Unbeknownst to her at the time the Percy Amendment was being debated, Fraser would later head the Office of Women in Development under President Carter's administration. | |||||||||||||
| Materials originating from conferences associated with the Decade for Women are arranged in four groups. The first group contains materials from conferences sponsored by both independent and governmental associations in preparation of the world conferences. The other three groups contain materials pertaining to each specific world conference. These materials include correspondence, grant sponsorship proposals and reports, printed programs, agenda discussion items, participants' papers, country and committee reports, conference recommendations, audio and video recordings, convention newspapers, and Fraser's notes. | |||||||||||||
| Additional materials related to the Decade for Women will be found within other series of Fraser's papers, particularly within the sections related to the Office of Women in Development and to the Women, Public Policy and Development Project. | |||||||||||||
