Brief history:

The CWLU was founded in 1969 as an explicitly radical, anti-capitalist, feminist, city-wide organization committed to building an autonomous, multi-issue women’s liberation movement.  The CWLU was formed at a conference in Palatine, Illinois, which was called for radical women in the fall of 1969.  The CWLU’s principles, as stated at the founding conference, see the women’s movement as a revolutionary struggle that is closely linked to the struggles against racism, capitalism, and imperialism, as well as an open democratic organization.

 

The CWLU consisted of work groups for specific issues and chapters (political study groups and/or rap groups).  Each of these groups sent representatives to the CWLU steering committee that decided the direction and programs of the CWLU.

 

The CWLU developed a number of programs.  The Liberation School for Women helped women develop political analysis, introduced them to women’s liberation, and taught them skills necessary to survive in society.  Womankind was a newspaper published by the CWLU concerning women’s issues.  The Health Project was involved in both service programs, such as pregnancy testing, and in direct action around women’s health issues, such as lobbying for safe abortions.  A program called DARE (Direct Action for Rights in Employment) fought for equal job treatment and wages for women, especially in city jobs.  The CWLU sponsored a Legal Clinic that provided legal services and advice for women.  The Chicago Women’s Liberation Rock Band and the Women’s Graphics Collective spread information about women’s liberation and the CWLU.

 

At some point, the CWLU included many of the leading feminists in Chicago.  The women participating in CWLU included: Heather Booth, Vivian Rothstein, Naomi Weisstein, Estelle Carol, and Diane Horowitz.

 

The CWLU struggled with factionalism and divisiveness from its inception.  The problems often stemmed from a lack of structure in the CWLU and probably trying to include too many personal agendas.  In 1976, a final crisis tore the CWLU apart.  Two groups in particular contributed to the demise f the CWLU: the Two-Line paper authors and the Asian Women’s Group.  The CWLU purged these people following their statement papers.  On April 24, 1977, the remaining members of the CWLU voted to end its existence, after declining membership and remaining factionalism made clear that the CWLU would never achieve its original goal of uniting women.

 

Description of the collection

The records of the CWLU contain pamphlets, calendars, summaries, scripts, agendas, minutes, notes, programs, papers, informational handouts, correspondence, attendance sheets, newsletters, newspapers, and news clippings which demonstrate the CWLU’s principle of building an autonomous, multi-issue women’s liberation movement based in Chicago.

 

The records of the CWLU are arranged by function into seven series:

Series 1.  Background information  1968-1978

Series 2.  Administrative files  1968-1977

Series 3.  Conferences  1969-1977

Series 4.  Projects  1969-1977

Series 5.  Publications  1954, 1967-1977

Series 6.  Topical files  1968-1976

Series 7.  Regional files  1968-1976

 

Series 1.  Background information, 1968-1978, contains pamphlets, calendars, statements of purpose, descriptions, papers, notes, ballots, and summaries of the CWLU.  This series contains information and summaries on the CWLU’s dissolution due to a split within its membership.

 

Series 2, Administrative files, 1968-1977, contains scripts (annotated), pamphlets, fliers, correspondence, agendas, minutes, and notes.  This series contains the materials from the CWLU’s committees on media, membership, steering, and planning in addition to correspondence from the CWLU.

 

Series 3. Conferences, 1969-1977, contains notes, correspondence, agendas, programs, registrations, pamphlets, and fliers.  These files include materials from conferences both sponsored by the CWLU and attended by members of the CWLU.  Of special interest in this series is the rather complete information on the CWLU-sponsored Socialist Feminist Conference in 1975.

 

Series 4, Projects, 1969-1977, contains papers, notes, informational handouts, fact sheets, correspondence (form letters), attendance sheets, agendas, background readings, pamphlets, and fliers.  These files contain material on the  CWLU's projects, including the Liberation School, D.A.R.E. (Direct Action for Rights in Employment), the Alice Hamilton Women’s Health Center, and the Speakers Bureau.  Also included in these files are materials received from and concerning chapters of the CWLU.

 

Series 5, Publications, 1954, `967-77, contains newsletters, newspapers, articles, published informational booklets, and pamphlet materials.  This series contains publications created by the CWLU, including the CWLU Newsletter and Womankind.  In addition to the CWLU-created publications, this series also contains publications which the CWLU purchased and sold in its office.

 

Series 6, Topical files, 1968-1976, contains pamphlets, fliers, fact sheets, news clippings, papers, articles, non-CWLU newsletters, published informational booklets, and form letters.  These files were compiled by the CWLU on topics of interest such as abortion, daycare, family-related issues, labor unions, law, pollution, rape, and the women’s liberation movement.

 

Series 7, Regional files, 1968-1976, contains some correspondence, but the major component of this series is newsletters and pamphlets from similar organizations around the nation.  These newsletters and pamphlets were received by the CWLU and maintained in files by state.
