The National Network Of Hispanic Women Archives

The National Network of Hispanic Women was a non-profit corporation founded in 1980 that was dedicated to the identification and advancement of Hispanic women for positions of leadership in the public and private sectors. In the past, primary sources documenting Hispanic women have been confined to unpublished dissertations and government documentation - this collection includes organisational records, correspondence, photographs, publications, reports, and ephemera that allow the personal voices of these women to be heard. By putting the socio-political experiences of Hispanic women in American society at the centre of the narrative, these materials promote the continuation of ethnic and gender studies, gender research and debate.
