| Manuscript Collection | Requires cookie* | | 2 | Title: | Women's Law Fund Records
| | | | Creator: | Women's Law Fund | | | | Dates: | 1968-2002 | | | | Abstract: | The Women's Law Fund was a nonprofit organization founded in Cleveland, Ohio, in 1972 dedicated to eradicating gender discrimination in employment, education, government benefits, and housing. Under the direction of Jane M. Picker and Lizabeth A. Moody, the organization secured attorneys and provided funding for litigation related to women's issues. Most notably, the fund supported LaFleur, et al. v. Cleveland Board of Education, et al., a case that reached the U.S. Supreme Court in a landmark ruling concerning mandatory maternity leave for female employees. In the 1990s the fund focused on female age discrimination and discrimination faced by American women employed overseas by American companies. The Women's Law Fund disbanded in 2006. The collection consists of agendas, annual reports, correspondence, financial records, meeting minutes, memorandums, magazine articles, newspaper clippings, reports, resumes, and video tapes. | | | | Call #: | MS 4970 | | | | Extent: | 91.94 linear feet (99 containers) | | | | Subjects: | Women's Law Fund (Cleveland, Ohio) | Sex discrimination against women -- Ohio -- Cleveland. | Sex discrimination against women -- United States. | Women's rights -- Ohio -- Cleveland. | Women's rights -- United States. | Women -- Legal status, laws, etc. -- Ohio -- Cleveland. | Women -- Legal status, laws, etc. -- United States. | Women -- Employment -- Law and legislation. | Women in education -- Legal status, laws, etc. | Cleveland (Ohio) -- Trials, litigation, etc.
