Her efforts include advocating for the rights of women as homemakers and protesting the Catholic annulment system. Atwood was born in Arlington, Virginia in 1947. She attended George Mason College (now George Mason University) in Fairfax, Virginia in the 1960s where she studied psychology. During her time at George Mason College, Atwood joined classes at the Institute for Policy Studies (IPS) in Washington, DC.  While there, she became involved in various activist causes such as the women's movement, the Vietnam peace movement, and the Civil Rights movement by collaborating in think tanks and alternative newspapers. ","After the classes at IPS ended, Atwood and her classmates continued to meet, calling themselves the Washington Women's Liberation group. Some members spun off into other groups such as Off Our Backs, The Furies, and The Witches. These groups created alternative news publications focusing on their core beliefs. Atwood wrote articles and pamphlets for consciousness-raising efforts to contribute to several of these publications. ","In 1980, Atwood moved to Richmond, Virginia where she worked as a freelance writer for the Richmond Times-Dispatch while raising her child. During that period, Atwood became involved in advocacy groups for the support of women's rights in the marriage annulment process practiced by the Catholic Church. In 1993, she attended law school at the University of Richmond, focusing on disability law. While attending the university, Atwood wrote for the school newspaper's etiquette column. She graduated with a Juris Doctor degree in 1996. Rather than pursue a legal practice, Atwood became a professional lobbyist for various clients, including the Virginia Federation of Food Banks, Virginia Girl Scout Legislative Coalition, American Red Cross, Speech-Language-Hearing Association and Virginia Association for Marriage and Family Therapy. In 2003, Atwood published her book, In the Field of Honor: Stories of Virginia Veterans, a compilation of interviews with veterans from multiple branches of the United States military.

The files pertain to women's health, women's history, women in the news, and general feminist theory and are primarily in the  form of pamphlets, essays, newsletters, and flyers.

Included are studies and informational pamphlets exploring the effects of the Vietnam War and the draft on society, as well as material promoting protests and legislative action against the war.

Her efforts include advocating for the rights of women as homemakers and protesting the Catholic annulment system. Atwood was born in Arlington, Virginia in 1947. She attended George Mason College (now George Mason University) in Fairfax, Virginia in the 1960s where she studied psychology. During her time at George Mason College, Atwood joined classes at the Institute for Policy Studies (IPS) in Washington, DC.  While there, she became involved in various activist causes such as the women's movement, the Vietnam peace movement, and the Civil Rights movement by collaborating in think tanks and alternative newspapers. ","After the classes at IPS ended, Atwood and her classmates continued to meet, calling themselves the Washington Women's Liberation group. Some members spun off into other groups such as Off Our Backs, The Furies, and The Witches. These groups created alternative news publications focusing on their core beliefs. Atwood wrote articles and pamphlets for consciousness-raising efforts to contribute to several of these publications. ","In 1980, Atwood moved to Richmond, Virginia where she worked as a freelance writer for the Richmond Times-Dispatch while raising her child. During that period, Atwood became involved in advocacy groups for the support of women's rights in the marriage annulment process practiced by the Catholic Church. In 1993, she attended law school at the University of Richmond, focusing on disability law. While attending the university, Atwood wrote for the school newspaper's etiquette column. She graduated with a Juris Doctor degree in 1996. Rather than pursue a legal practice, Atwood became a professional lobbyist for various clients, including the Virginia Federation of Food Banks, Virginia Girl Scout Legislative Coalition, American Red Cross, Speech-Language-Hearing Association and Virginia Association for Marriage and Family Therapy.

Files related to specific feminist groups and goals Atwood supported include the International Institute for Women's Studies in Northern Virginia, the Virginia Foundation for Women, and the Washington Women's Liberation Bulletin which all operated to educate women on the core concepts of second-wave feminism in the 1960s and 1970s.","An additional theme represented in Atwood's subject files is anti-war material. Included are studies and informational pamphlets exploring the effects of the Vietnam War and the draft on society, as well as material promoting protests and legislative action against the war. Correspondence included in the series is primarily with Virginia congressmen requesting action regarding the Vietnam War.","The flyers within the collection represent a wide range of topics and events which Atwood supported. Most of them promote local protests and demonstrations in the Northern Virginia and Richmond areas, while others are informational in nature to raise awareness of feminist or anti-war causes.","Series 2: Alternative News Publications and Magazines, 1969-2005: Atwood's collection also contains various issues of alternative press publications.  Many of the publications focus primarily on the promotion of non-traditional radical activism. Topics include women's liberation, anti-war, and anti-government columns.  While  the collection does not include full runs of the publications, the issues kept by Atwood reflect her opinions on these topics.","The series includes sporadic  consecutive issues for the years 1969-1970 for the alternative newspapers  Alice ,  Broadside ,  Guardian , and  Quicksilver Times . Additionally, the series contains one-off issues of other alternative publications such as the first issue of  Off Our Backs , a feminist and lesbian focused news publication which includes subjects that today would be described as LGBTQ+. Also found in this series are activist magazines, such as  The Ragged Edge  and  Mouth Magazine , written to raise awareness about living with physical and mental disabilities."],"separatedmaterial_html_tesm":["\u003cp\u003eA first printing copy of the one-shot underground comic \u003ctitle\u003eIt Ain't Me, Babe\u003c/title\u003e has been removed from the collection and cataloged separately.\u003c/p\u003e\n","\u003cp\u003eA copy of the LP record \u003ctitle\u003eMessage to the Grass Roots from Malcom X\u003c/title\u003e has been removed from the collection and cataloged separately. \u003c/p\u003e"],"separatedmaterial_heading_ssm":["Separated Materials"],"separatedmaterial_tesim":["A first printing copy of the one-shot underground comic  It Ain't Me, Babe  has been removed from the collection and cataloged separately.","A copy of the LP record  Message to the Grass Roots from Malcom X  has been removed from the collection and cataloged separately.

Brown is a former representative in the West Virginia House of Delegates (1982-2012) best known for her advocacy for women's rights.","Brown was born Bonnie Louise Wonderley in San Francisco, California to Thelma Asbury and Wilbert Wonderly on October 5th, 1942.\nAfter being raised between California and Oregon, she attended Oregon State University in Corvallis, Oregon, where she met fellow student Gary Leigh Brown, and they married in 1965 June. They both transferred to the University of Idaho in Moscow, Idaho to continue their education.  ","After Gary L. Brown's graduation from the University of Idaho with his doctorate in chemical engineering, the couple moved to Charleston, West Virginia for his employment with Union Carbide. During the move from Idaho to West Virginia in 1969, Brown gave birth to her daughter Mollie Brown in Kansas. After the birth of her second child, Joel, Brown graduated from the Morris Harvey College (now the University of Charleston) in Charleston, West Virginia in 1972 with a Bachelor of Arts in English. She was elected president of the Charleston Chapter National Organization for Women (NOW) in 1975. That same year she attended the National Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) Task Force as a representative for West Virginia. She also organized the first \"People's Lobby\" around public interest legislation as the legislative coordinator for the West Virginia Citizen's Action Group.  ","In 1976, she stepped down as the president of Charleston NOW to become the president of the state chapter, West Virginia NOW. She would hold this position until 1978. During her time as president of West Virginia NOW, she was the West Virginia delegate to the National Women's Conference in Houston, Texas in 1977 and the West Virginia convenor for the U.S. National Women's Agenda. In 1977, she founded the now-defunct Women's Repertory Theatre in Charleston, West Virginia, which sought to combine politics and women's theater.   ","In 1978, she stepped down as president of West Virginia NOW to serve as the legislative coordinator and chief lobbyist. During this time, she was active as a consultant and field organizer for the national ERA movement and as a lobbyist in West Virginia, Washington, D.C., Virginia, Kentucky, Delaware, Florida, and Vermont.  ","She began a formal political career in 1982. She represented District 23 in the West Virginia House of Delegates from 1982-1988 and 1990 and District 30 from 1992-1994 and 2000-2012.  ","During her time in the legislature, she was a member of a variety of committees and commissions, most notably the Constitutional Revision Committee, Health and Welfare Committee, Judiciary Committee, Legislative Commission on Juvenile Law, Select Committee on Children and Families, Women's Legislative Caucus, and South Charleston Human Rights Commission. ","After an unsuccessful run for reelection in 2012, Brown did not attempt to run for another political position. As of 2025 April, she lives in Charleston, West Virginia. ","This collection contains the papers of Bonnie L. Brown, a feminist activist and former representative in the West Virginia House of Delegates (1982-2012). The majority of materials are various collected papers from conferences and events Brown attended between 1974 and 2022. ","Prevalent topics in the collection include the International Woman's Year, the Women's Repertory Theater in Charleston, West Virginia, the West Virginia House of Delegates, Charleston Chapter National Organization for Women (NOW), and West Virginia NOW. ","Also of interest is Brown's collection of metal political and social commentary pins promoting the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA), NOW, and women's rights. There are also collected T-Shirts relevant to her feminist activism and political campaigning. ","Brown loaned several scrapbooks covering her time in the West Virginia House of Delegated to the WVRHC for scanning. These digital files are available for viewing upon request. They mostly include photographs from events such as ERA marches, political rallies, political campaigning, and sessions in the West Virginia House of Delegates. There are also some digital scans of notes and election ephemera. ","The collection is divided into two series:","Series 1.

Membership lists in box 12 may begin to be accessed in 2026.","The National Organization for Women (NOW) is a feminist non-profit organization that was founded by twenty-eight women attending the Third National Conference of Commissions on the Status of Women in Washington, D.C., on June 30, 1966. The original statement of purpose included \"to take action to bring women into full participation in the mainstream of American society now, exercising all privileges and responsibilities thereof in truly equal partnership with men.\" ","The first NOW-affiliated organization in West Virginia, the Morgantown-Fairmont (Mor-Fair) chapter, was formed in the early 1970s under the leadership of its first president, Jennifer L. Hipp. Also crucial to its creation were Letty Lincoln and Barbara Nailler. By 1974, the Mor-Fair chapter split into separate Morgantown and Fairmont NOW chapters due to the mid-1970s gasoline crisis. Dr. Lillian J. Waugh became heavily involved in what would become the Morgantown chapter beginning in 1973. West Virginia University (WVU) faculty, staff, and students furnished the largest number of new members of the newly separated Morgantown chapter.  ","Morgantown NOW had a strong Consciousness Raising Task Force whose members engaged in public speaking, building foundations in political activism.  ","The Morgantown chapter, alongside Charleston and Martinsburg, had a strong emphasis on changing state and national laws related to violence against women. Morgantown NOW's Rape Task Force was pivotal in that regard and enjoyed a fruitful collaboration with the Women's Information Center (WIC) under the leadership of Rev. Reba Thurmond, Methodist Campus Minister. In the fall of 1973 women from both town and gown constituencies coalesced to found Rape Information Services, which would later become the Rape and Domestic Violence Information Center (RDVIC).  ","In 1974, the growth of local NOW chapters led to the creation of a state organization, West Virginia NOW, to strengthen connections between the national organization and local chapters. WV NOW would hold state councils and conferences throughout the 1970s and 1980s. The first State Compliance Coordinator was Morgantown's Letty Lincoln. Jennifer L. Hipp became a State Officer of WVNOW and Sandy Roth took over the presidency of MNOW.  ","Given the emphasis on legal reforms and attendant lobbying at the state and national level, WVNOW chapters became points of entry for feminist activists in elected office. These included Sondra Lucht (Martinsburg, state Senator), Bonnie Brown (Charleston, House of Delegates), and Barbara Evans Fleischauer (Morgantown, House of Delegates).  All three women served both as home and state chapter presidents.

Membership lists in box 12 may begin to be accessed in 2026.","The National Organization for Women (NOW) is a feminist non-profit organization that was founded by twenty-eight women attending the Third National Conference of Commissions on the Status of Women in Washington, D.C., on June 30, 1966. The original statement of purpose included \"to take action to bring women into full participation in the mainstream of American society now, exercising all privileges and responsibilities thereof in truly equal partnership with men.\" ","The first NOW-affiliated organization in West Virginia, the Morgantown-Fairmont (Mor-Fair) chapter, was formed in the early 1970s under the leadership of its first president, Jennifer L. Hipp. Also crucial to its creation were Letty Lincoln and Barbara Nailler. By 1974, the Mor-Fair chapter split into separate Morgantown and Fairmont NOW chapters due to the mid-1970s gasoline crisis. Dr. Lillian J. Waugh became heavily involved in what would become the Morgantown chapter beginning in 1973. West Virginia University (WVU) faculty, staff, and students furnished the largest number of new members of the newly separated Morgantown chapter.  ","Morgantown NOW had a strong Consciousness Raising Task Force whose members engaged in public speaking, building foundations in political activism.  ","The Morgantown chapter, alongside Charleston and Martinsburg, had a strong emphasis on changing state and national laws related to violence against women. Morgantown NOW's Rape Task Force was pivotal in that regard and enjoyed a fruitful collaboration with the Women's Information Center (WIC) under the leadership of Rev. Reba Thurmond, Methodist Campus Minister. In the fall of 1973 women from both town and gown constituencies coalesced to found Rape Information Services, which would later become the Rape and Domestic Violence Information Center (RDVIC).  ","In 1974, the growth of local NOW chapters led to the creation of a state organization, West Virginia NOW, to strengthen connections between the national organization and local chapters. WV NOW would hold state councils and conferences throughout the 1970s and 1980s. The first State Compliance Coordinator was Morgantown's Letty Lincoln. Jennifer L. Hipp became a State Officer of WVNOW and Sandy Roth took over the presidency of MNOW.  ","Given the emphasis on legal reforms and attendant lobbying at the state and national level, WVNOW chapters became points of entry for feminist activists in elected office. These included Sondra Lucht (Martinsburg, state Senator), Bonnie Brown (Charleston, House of Delegates), and Barbara Evans Fleischauer (Morgantown, House of Delegates).  All three women served both as home and state chapter presidents. ","Morgantown NOW was also pivotal in providing significant support to National NOW: Sandra Reeves Roth of Wadestown, a WVU psychology graduate, served two terms as national NOW secretary under Ellie Smeal's presidency. Beth Leopold left her WNPB-TV position to work in field organizing and public relations. Sherry O'Dell of Charleston was a member of Smeal's leadership team in the last half of the 1970s and early 1980s. ","Morgantown NOW became well-known for its success in taking busloads of activists to marches in Washington, D.C., for the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) and pro-choice rallies, and regularly raised funds to support a lobbyist during the state legislative sessions for the last quarter of the 20th century.  ","Morgantown NOW members were also central to the development of Women's Studies at WVU in the mid 1970s and early 1980s and often co-sponsored events with the WVU NOW chapter.  ","Although diminished in size and prevalence, as of 2025 NOW still operates nationally and in all 50 U.S. states. The West Virginia state, Morgantown, Kanawha Valley, and Huntington chapters are the only NOW chapters still in operation in West Virginia, with focuses on reproductive rights, economic justice, domestic violence, racial justice, LGBTQIA+ rights, and constitutional equality. ","This collection contains materials relating to the National Organization for Women (NOW) and its related chapters in West Virgina, particularly the state and Morgantown chapters. Prominent topics include the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA), abortion, sexual assault, discrimination, and domestic abuse. Also prominent are organizational records of the West Virginia state and Morgantown chapters, such as meeting notes, agendas, and newsletters. Materials include agendas, correspondence, ephemera, memos, newsletters, newspaper clippings, articles, mailers, flyers, posters, press releases, song lyrics, publications, handbooks, T-shirts, stickers, pins, minutes, budgets, by-laws, legislation, and photographs.
