Maryat, as she came to be known, grew up with her musician mother, lawyer and businessman father, and two older brothers, John and Robert.","She graduated from Wellesley College in Wellesley, Massachusetts with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Bible History in 1945.","In the following years, Lee was employed in various jobs in New York City, including editing religious films, transcribing oral history tapes for Columbia University, and serving as an assistant to Margaret Mead at the Society for Applied Anthropology.","Inspired by a conversation with East Harlem storefront church ministers about declining local interest in religion and surging drug usage, Lee sought to become acquainted with the population of Harlem, a largely African American neighborhood in New York City. This led to the writing of her first play, DOPE! which began showings in storefront churches, on sidewalks, and in alleys in 1951, using the local people Lee had met in Harlem as actors. Interest in this street theater, as it would come to be known, faded quickly, but it set the foundation for much of Lee's later work.","In 1957, she met and began a friendship with author Flannery O'Connor that would last until the latter's death in 1964. That same year, in 1957, she married Australian furniture designer David Foulkes Taylor in Japan. The couple parted ways soon after, and Taylor died in a car accident in Australia in 1965.","In 1966, Lee began a long business and romantic relationship with photographer Fran Belin, with whom she would go on to co-found the Women's Farm and EcoTheater.","She founded the East Harlem Soul and Latin Theater (SALT) in New York City in 1970, building upon her work with Harlem residents seventeen years prior. SALT used non-actors and encouraged audience reactions in opposition to what Lee viewed as the more stifling contemporary theater.","Soon after, Lee parted ways with SALT after troupe members became discontented with the way she was handling copyright of the works produced, and the troupe dissolved two years later.","In 1971, Lee moved to Powley's Creek, West Virginia with Belin and founded the Women's Farm, as part of a wider Back-to-the-land movement that occurred in America in the 1960s and 1970s. The Women's Farm sought to provide a work retreat for artists and musicians and serve as the foundation for a new type of local theater.","During this time, Lee focused on learning about her local community in Hinton, West Virginia, and wrote plays inspired by what she heard, including John Henry and Ole Miz Dacey. Both plays would be shown on Lee's farm and performed by youth from the Governor's Summer Youth Program, marking the beginning of EcoTheater in 1975.","EcoTheater, described by Lee as \"indigenous Appalachian theater\" produced plays based on oral histories collected from the local community, and as with DOPE! and SALT, used non-actors in its performances.","In 1984, Lee moved to Lewisburg, West Virginia, where she worked on her EcoTheater Workbook. From 1987 to 1989, Lee focused her energies on producing several theater workshops in West Virginia and Kentucky.","Maryat Lee passed away at her home in Lewisburg, West Virginia on September 18, 1989, while working on her EcoTheater Workbook.","This collection mostly contains materials created and collected by Maryat Lee between 1951 and 1989 during her work on a wide variety of art and theatre projects, including Street and Latin Theater (SALT), the Women's Farm, and EcoTheater.

She pioneered street theater in Harlem and later founded EcoTheater in West Virginia, a community-based theater project.","Maryat Lee was born as Mary Attaway Lee in Covington, Kentucky on May 26, 1923, to Grace Barbee Dyer Lee and Dewitt Collins Lee. Maryat, as she came to be known, grew up with her musician mother, lawyer and businessman father, and two older brothers, John and Robert.","She graduated from Wellesley College in Wellesley, Massachusetts with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Bible History in 1945.","In the following years, Lee was employed in various jobs in New York City, including editing religious films, transcribing oral history tapes for Columbia University, and serving as an assistant to Margaret Mead at the Society for Applied Anthropology.","Inspired by a conversation with East Harlem storefront church ministers about declining local interest in religion and surging drug usage, Lee sought to become acquainted with the population of Harlem, a largely African American neighborhood in New York City. This led to the writing of her first play, DOPE! which began showings in storefront churches, on sidewalks, and in alleys in 1951, using the local people Lee had met in Harlem as actors. Interest in this street theater, as it would come to be known, faded quickly, but it set the foundation for much of Lee's later work.","In 1957, she met and began a friendship with author Flannery O'Connor that would last until the latter's death in 1964. That same year, in 1957, she married Australian furniture designer David Foulkes Taylor in Japan. The couple parted ways soon after, and Taylor died in a car accident in Australia in 1965.","In 1966, Lee began a long business and romantic relationship with photographer Fran Belin, with whom she would go on to co-found the Women's Farm and EcoTheater.","She founded the East Harlem Soul and Latin Theater (SALT) in New York City in 1970, building upon her work with Harlem residents seventeen years prior. SALT used non-actors and encouraged audience reactions in opposition to what Lee viewed as the more stifling contemporary theater.","Soon after, Lee parted ways with SALT after troupe members became discontented with the way she was handling copyright of the works produced, and the troupe dissolved two years later.","In 1971, Lee moved to Powley's Creek, West Virginia with Belin and founded the Women's Farm, as part of a wider Back-to-the-land movement that occurred in America in the 1960s and 1970s. The Women's Farm sought to provide a work retreat for artists and musicians and serve as the foundation for a new type of local theater.","During this time, Lee focused on learning about her local community in Hinton, West Virginia, and wrote plays inspired by what she heard, including John Henry and Ole Miz Dacey. Both plays would be shown on Lee's farm and performed by youth from the Governor's Summer Youth Program, marking the beginning of EcoTheater in 1975.","EcoTheater, described by Lee as \"indigenous Appalachian theater\" produced plays based on oral histories collected from the local community, and as with DOPE! and SALT, used non-actors in its performances.","In 1984, Lee moved to Lewisburg, West Virginia, where she worked on her EcoTheater Workbook. From 1987 to 1989, Lee focused her energies on producing several theater workshops in West Virginia and Kentucky.","Maryat Lee passed away at her home in Lewisburg, West Virginia on September 18, 1989, while working on her EcoTheater Workbook.","This collection mostly contains materials created and collected by Maryat Lee between 1951 and 1989 during her work on a wide variety of art and theatre projects, including Street and Latin Theater (SALT), the Women's Farm, and EcoTheater. Also present in the collection are materials created by Maryat Lee's parents, Grace Barbee Dyer Lee and Dewitt Collins Lee between 1910 and 1945. Materials present beyond Maryat Lee's death in 1989 consist of various EcoTheater and the Women's Farm administrative and promotional writings.","Materials include reports, newsletters, correspondence, newspaper clippings, photographs, cassette tapes, VHS tapes, posters, manuscripts, notes, scripts, screenplays, published plays, genealogical research, journals, drawings, and paintings. Also present is a piece of stained glass created by Lee, a dress worn by Lee, and an EcoTheater T-Shirt.","The collection is divided into seven series based upon Maryat Lee's original folder labeling and the prevalence of certain subject matter. Due to the fact that Lee did not package the materials for donation herself, some boxes and folders within the series are physically out of order in relation to their intellectual arrangement. Addendum are also split between series.","Series 1. Writings: This series contains writings by Maryat Lee outside of her workshops and various programs, such as notes and manuscripts.","Series 2.

The Justitia organization brought the wives of a largely male student population together to support their husbands throughout their three years of study at West Virginia University College of Law. The founders chose the pink carnation and the colors pink and white to represent their organizaion.","Justitia, the Roman goddess of Justice, was considered to be the embodiment of moral justice in Roman mythology, providing justification for the organization's name.","Through all four decades of its existence the mission of Justitia, also known as the Law Students Wives' Club, remained the same:","\"The purpose of Justitia shall be to bring about a spirit of cooperation and friendship among its members, to extend to those members opportunities for acquainting themselves with various aspects of the law profession, and to promote the interests of the West Virginia University College of Law.\"","Throughout the following three decades after its founding - the 60s, 70s, and early 80s - Justitia members held meetings and published Morgantown guides for incoming students and their wives. They raised money through cookbook sales, bake sales and stationery sales and directed those funds toward receptions, dinners, dances, children's parties, hooding ceremonies, and other means of supporting their husbands and law students at the WVU College of Law.","While Justitia primarily remained a group of law student wives, the 1964–1965 Justitia booklet provides the earliest mention of female law students' eligibility in the club. Although the first female student, Alice Westbrook Morrison, graduted from WVU law in 1895, the female student body remained small before significant growth was achieved in the 1960s.

This may suggest that, given the familial orientation of the club, single female law students did not typically pursue Justitia membership. Later membership listings are on a first name basis, making it equally difficult to determine the ratio of law student wives to single or married female law student membership.","The club's first constitution was recorded in 1964-1965. During the 1970s Justitia joined the larger National Law Wives Organization. The last records available for Justitia are for the years 1982-1983.

Subjects covered include the social lives of married women, university organizations, and the WVU College of Law, particularly as it pertains to the opening of the new College of Law on the WVU Evansdale campus in 1974.

The Justitia organization brought the wives of a largely male student population together to support their husbands throughout their three years of study at West Virginia University College of Law. The founders chose the pink carnation and the colors pink and white to represent their organizaion.","Justitia, the Roman goddess of Justice, was considered to be the embodiment of moral justice in Roman mythology, providing justification for the organization's name.","Through all four decades of its existence the mission of Justitia, also known as the Law Students Wives' Club, remained the same:","\"The purpose of Justitia shall be to bring about a spirit of cooperation and friendship among its members, to extend to those members opportunities for acquainting themselves with various aspects of the law profession, and to promote the interests of the West Virginia University College of Law.\"","Throughout the following three decades after its founding - the 60s, 70s, and early 80s - Justitia members held meetings and published Morgantown guides for incoming students and their wives. They raised money through cookbook sales, bake sales and stationery sales and directed those funds toward receptions, dinners, dances, children's parties, hooding ceremonies, and other means of supporting their husbands and law students at the WVU College of Law.","While Justitia primarily remained a group of law student wives, the 1964–1965 Justitia booklet provides the earliest mention of female law students' eligibility in the club. Although the first female student, Alice Westbrook Morrison, graduted from WVU law in 1895, the female student body remained small before significant growth was achieved in the 1960s. Despite this inclusion, the club continued to be referred to as the Law Students Wives' Club. Membership lists from the 60s and 70s record members as \"Mrs. John Smith,\" for example, with the wife's given name following in parentheses. This may suggest that, given the familial orientation of the club, single female law students did not typically pursue Justitia membership. Later membership listings are on a first name basis, making it equally difficult to determine the ratio of law student wives to single or married female law student membership.","The club's first constitution was recorded in 1964-1965. During the 1970s Justitia joined the larger National Law Wives Organization. The last records available for Justitia are for the years 1982-1983. There is no documentation to mark the club's closure.","The Justitia Law Students Wives' Club Records consists of material related to the Justitia Law Students Wives' Club's activities and upkeep. The collection was compiled by the Justitia Law Students Wives' Club and formats include correspondence, newsletters, photographs, invitations, newspaper clippings, realia, scrapbooks, cookbooks, financial documents, and organizational records.","The records focus on the social activities of the club's members in support of their spouses in law school as well as general maintenance of the club. Subjects covered include the social lives of married women, university organizations, and the WVU College of Law, particularly as it pertains to the opening of the new College of Law on the WVU Evansdale campus in 1974. It also provides insights into the role of women, women's expectations in society, and the social and cultural opportunities available to women and their families.","The records are divided into seven series,: The 1950s, The 1960s, The 1970s, The 1980s, Financial Records, Duplicates, and Scrapbooks.","Series 1.
