Christine E. Bose Socialist, Marxist, and Second Wave Ephemera

The collection is arranged by its contents into two categories as Chris Bose, donor, had originally categorized them: documents around early second wave feminism and socialist-feminist/Marxist-feminist documents. An item level inventory was created by the donor and was used as a reference for the collection. It is as follows:
