Massachusetts Petitions on Women's Rights

Massachusetts Petitions on Women's Rights

The Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study (RIAS), home of the Schlesinger Library on the History of Women in America, and the Massachusetts State Archives will conduct a three-year project to (1) catalog and digitize women's rights petitions sent to the Massachusetts state legislature from 1619 to 1925; (2) conduct collaborative research on these petitions in women's history, literature, and American legal and political history; and (3) join the records with data on anti-slavery petitions sent to the Massachusetts state legislature assembled from previous grants as part of an open-access website where the petition data can be used by teachers, researchers, citizens, genealogists, and the public at large for further research.
