Provenance:

 

This
collection was probably given to

Archives

Documents, Manuscripts, Maps, & Photographs by Mary Philbrook.  Although it is impossible to judge for certain, a
letter written to Maude Greene, then librarian of the New Jersey Historical Society, Mary
Philbrook stated that the material she was able to gather from the World Center for Women
Archives has been placed in the New Jersey Historical Society for safekeeping.  Since there is no direct evidence to the contrary,
it is assumed that Mary Philbrook donated not only the papers of the Federal Writers’
Project with which she was involved, but also the papers of other organizations in which
she played an active role that are contained in this collection.

 

Scope
and Content Notes:

 

 

The
Work Projects Administration-Federal Writers’ Project-New Jersey Women’s
Archives Papers span the years 1890 to 1953, and is contained in five archival boxes.  This collection contains some personal papers of
Mary Philbrook, as well as papers from five of the more prom­inent organizations in which
she participated.  The collection has been
titled this way because the Federal Writers’ Project delt with Women’s Archives
and was directly related to the World Center for Women’s Archives and, the New Jersey
Center for Women¹s Archives.  The
entire collection is titled according to its most recent corporate author.

 

 

 

 

Although the collection is unified by the overriding interest
in women’s activities and rights, it is more feasible to divide the manuscript group
into three sub – groups:  1)  the papers of Mary Philbrook, including official
records of organ­izations to which she belonged; 2)
the records of the World Center for Women’s Archives and the New Jersey Center
for Women’s Archives; and 3)  the files
resulting from the work of Federal Writer’s Project employees.

 

 

Biographical/
Organizational Notes:

 

 

Mary Philbrook was born in Washington, D.C. on August 6,
l872.  The Philbrook family later relocated to
Jersey City, New Jersey.  In 1890 Mary began
to study law in Hoboken and in 1894 applied for permission to take the New Jersey State
Bar Examination.  Her request was originally
denied, but granted the following year at which time she passed the examination.  Mary Philbrook’s early practice was centered
around the towns of Jersey City and Hoboken.

 

 

At this time Mary became interested in women’s rights
and joined the New Jersey Suffrage Association, and at the same time she also helped to
organize the New Jersey Legal Aid Association.  As
is noted in her autobiography, it was natural for Mary Philbrook to be interested in the
women’s movement since both her mother and grandmother were active suffragists.

 

 

When World War I began Mary joined the American Red Cross.
She became the assistant director of the Potomac Division Officer, but because of her
intense desire to join the foreign service Mary was allowed to go to Aurillac, France to
work with the refu­gees, overlooking the fact that she was slightly older than was
normally allowed for the position. After the Armistice, Mary Philbrook was assigned to the
legal department of the American Red Cross in Paris until the following fall.  At that time she returned to the Potomac Division
to work in their law department.

 

 

Back in America Mary became an active member of at least
five women’s groups and was to remain so for the better part of her life.  She was on the executive board of three of these
groups.

 

The National Woman’s
Party was formed in 1915.  After
internal reorganization,
its officers were as follows:  Sarah T. Pell,
chairman; Gail Laughlin, Anita Pollitzer, Jane N, Smith, vice
-chairmen; Mrs. Harvey Wiley, secretary; Laura Berrien, treasurer; Mary Philbrook was
the chief archivist and the chairman of the Congressional Committee.  A pamphlet entitled “A Few Facts About the
National Woman’s Party” illustrates the purpose of this organization as “to
secure for women complete equality with men under the law and in all human
relationships.”  In more modern terms,
the National Woman¹s Party was a “lobby groups.”

 

 

Mary
Philbrook was chairman of an international organization based in Geneva known as the Women‘s
Research Foundation. Other officers of this organization were:  Laura Berrien, treasurer; Nina Allender, Clara
Campoamor, Burnita Shelton Matthews, M. Alice Matthews, and Alice Paul, directors.  This group was most active in 1937 – 38,
lobbying at international conferences of the League of Nations and the International Labor
Union for equal rights and equal protection for women under the law.

 

 

Concurrently with her work in the Women’s Research
Foundation, Mary Philbrook was also the chairman of a group known as the Committee to
Eliminate Discriminations Against Women. Serving with her was an executive committee
composed of fifteen members. As the name implies, this group was working to have women
regarded equally with men in the eyes of the law.

 

 

Mary was also involved, although not officially, in two other
women’s groups: World Center for Women’s Archives and the New Jersey Center for
Women’s Archives.  Her relationship to
these groups is clarified in a letter written to Maude Greene, of the New Jersey
Historical Society, explaining that “…when Mrs. Mary Beard was considering the
establishment of an Archives for the safekeeping and collection of data relating to women
I was able to trace and gather some material.” Apparently, Mary Philbrook was
donating her knowledge and experience to a cause she had been promoting for many years.

 

 

The
records of the World Center for Women’s Archives and the New Jersey Center for Women¹s
Archives compose the second subgroup of this holding.
The World Center for Women’s Archives held it’s inauguration dinner on
December 15, 1937, only to later officially dissolve.
Although officially dissolved, they continued to work with the Work Projects
Administration to continue their work in 1940. The New Jersey Center for
Women’s Archives was a branch of the World Center and outlasted the parent
organization only by a matter of months.  The
goals of these groups were to collect and preserve the papers of prominent women and/or to
collect material relating to the accomplishments of women throughout the world.  The officers of the World Center for Women’s
Archives were:  Mrs. Inez Haynes Irwin,
chairman; Miss Emma Hirth, vice-chairman; Miss Mina Bruere, treasurer; Miss Ruth Savord,
secretary. The officers of the New Jersey Center for Women’s Archives were: Mrs,
Chauncey Marsh, president; Mrs. John Voorhees, corresponding secretary; Mrs. William
Milwitzky, recording secretary; Mrs. Harvey Roberts, treasurer; Miss Beatrice Winser,
archival custodian. Mary Beard was the founder of the World Center.

 

 

When
the World Center for Women’s Archives was unable to continue their work for financial
reasons, they were able to get the Work Projects Administration to finance the
continuation of their project; hence, the third subgroup of the collection: the files
resulting from the work of Federal Writers’ Project employees.

 

 

The
Federal Writers’ Project was one of the relief programs of the Work Projects
Administration.  The Work Projects
Administration was in existence from 1935 to 1943.
During, that time the Federal Writers’ Project and the Historical Records
Survey acted to provide jobs for unemployed authors, lawyers, teachers, librarians, and
many others. The workers of the Historical Records Survey had been cooperating informally
with the World Center for Women’s Archives by watching for records pertaining to the
accomplishments of women, so it was logical that the Work Projects Administration would be
willing to continue the work of the World Center.  The
Federal Writers’Project was designed to handle this kind of research
better than the Historical Records Survey so that group continued the project.

 

 

The Federal
Writers Project workers researched primary materials with possible information on women.  Most of their work consisted of copying newspaper
articles, and including transcriptions of the more interesting statutes relating to women.  The files of the New Jersey Consumer’s League
were mostly concerned with women’s role in relation to labor. This topic was
partially transcribed and included in this collection.

 

 

From
1937 to 1940 the New Jersey Center for Women’s Archives functioned as a branch of the
World Center for Women’s Archives, an organization founded by Mary R. Beard and based in
New York City. Both the New Jersey Center for
Women’s Archives and the parent organization had the primary goal of ollecting and
preserving the papers of prominent American women. In 1940 the Work Projects
Administration’s Federal Writers’ Project agreed to continue the work of the New Jersey
Center for Woman’s Archives.

 

 

Scope
and Content Notes:

 

 

The
files of the Federal Writers Project are valuable because they reflect the interests,
concerns, moral battles and accomplishments of liberated women of the past.  While the papers in this collection do not
necessarily provide a conclusive, recurring theme, the overlying concept of women’s
struggles in modern America is prevalent.  This
collection also provides insights into other primary sources pertaining to similar issues.

 

 

This
collection has been arranged by subject and date with respect for the original filing
orders.  The inventory is followed by a list
of correspondents.  The list contains the
names of all people known to have worked on the Work Projects Administration, Women’s
Archives Project, and related organizations.

 

 

Records
of the World Center for Women’s Archives and the New Jersey Center for Women’s Archives,
1937-40; research  material compiled by

Mary
Philbrook, (1872-1958), the donor of this collection, contributed personal correspondence
and organizational records documenting her     struggle

War I, and her women’s rights activities. The bulk of Mary Philbrook’s papers are in MG
572. An inventory of the collection is available. Included are letters of:
