The third Margaret Hickey collection documents many of her activities in the government, voluntary organizations, and the women's movement. Information available on these activities span from 1942 to 1983. The material in the second collection is by no means all encompassing, but it emphasizes and expands the material found in the first Hickey collection and the Hickey addendum. All three collections should be used in conjunction to provide a more complete view of Miss Hickey's life and activities.
This collection documents four government appointments: the Advisory Committee on Voluntary Foreign Aid; the Council to the United Nations; the President's Commission on the Status of Women; and the War Manpower Commission. The most extensive information can be found on her work with the Advisory Committee on Voluntary Foreign Aid and the President's Commission on the Status of Women. Correspondence and news releases are the only information contained in this collection concerning the Council to the United Nations and the War Manpower Commission.
Miss Hickey was keenly involved in the Women's Movement. Included in this collection is an official briefing book of the National Women's Convention (November 18-21, 1977) and the President's report on National Women's Year. Pamphlets and briefing books on conventions concerning women's issues are also included. Material on the women's movement also contains correspondence and various newspaper clippings.
Miss Hickey was also very active on various committees and in some key organizations. She was active in many volunteer organizations, specifically the Red Cross. A few reports and some correspondence concerning the Red Cross are documented. An extensive amount of information concerning the National Foundation of Business and Professional Women is included, predominantly minutes and reports of committees within the NFBPW. Also documented here are correspondence and applications for Henry Luce Scholars, 1976-1983.
Miss Hickey's personal papers consist mainly of correspondence. The "personal-important" file contains a diversity of information--correspondence with Eleanor Roosevelt, invitations to the White House, correspondence with A.P. Kaufman (mayor of St. Louis), and her special passport.
Business papers include a complete manuscript for Miss Hickey's book The Career Book for Girls, correspondence with women advising them on career moves (World War II era), and a small amount of her work for the Ladies Home Journal. Unfortunately, there is very little to be found concerning the Hickey School for Secretaries, Inc.
