Discrimination Against Women at the University of Pittsburgh

An in-depth report by the University Committee for Women's Rights (UCWR) documenting its first year of existence as it struggled to challenge sexist policies at the University of Pittsburgh. Sections on salary discrimination, the treatment of women students and faculty, the composition of the administration and the staff (women employed as secretarial and clerical workers), and discrimination and the law. Includes appendices of various memos, letters and documents related to the UCWR's case against the university. Although specific to the University of Pittsburgh, the UCWR's activities and its conclusions provide insight into the national struggle to overturn sexist policies at most colleges and universities during the 1960s/1970s. Brad-bound sheets mimeographed from typescript, [2], 43, [23] p.
