A clubhouse was purchased at 1111 Virginia Street in Charleston, WV. \nIn 1944, the state chapter opted to organize the local chapters into four districts, which in 1951 would be expanded into seven districts. District one consisted of Weirton and Wheeling; District two consisted of Fairmont, Kingwood, Keyser, and Morgantown; District three consisted of Buckhannon, Elkins, Petersburg, and Philippi; District four consisted of Clarksburg, Harrisville, Parkersburg, Salem, and Spencer; District five consisted of Lewisburg, Marlington, Quinwood, and Ronceverte; District six consisted of Beckley, Hinton, Oak Hill, and Mullins; and District seven consisted of Belle, Charleston, Clay, and Huntington.  \nThe state and local chapters remained an active presence in their respective communities throughout the 20th century, with projects seeking to engage women in their professional, civic, and social lives. Of particular interest was their support of the West Virginia Jury Service for Women Amendment, which passed in 1956; the Equal Pay Act of 1963; and the Equal Rights Amendment, which was ratified in West Virginia in 1972. \nWaning membership into the 21st century led to the closure of the National Federation of Business and Professional Women's Clubs, which was soon followed by the West Virginia chapter in the 2000s.","This collection contains records of the West Virginia Federation of Business and Professional Women's Clubs (BPW), a woman's organization that sought to promote equality for women in the workplace.

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. Papers (Boxes 1-5)","- An addendum of 2023 March 02 can be found alongside the original donation in boxes 1-4.\n- An addendum of 2024 September 06 can be found in boxes 1-3 and 5.","Series 2.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
