6 FOLDERS

WESTERN HISTORICAL MANUSCRIPT COLLECTION
UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI-ST. LOUIS

This collection contains artifacts collected by two St. Louis-based women, Barbara McGough and Dorothy Tegeler, who participated in lesbian and feminist political events. Many of the political buttons were donated by McGough and pertain to lesbian and/or feminist social and political causes from 1978 to 2001.

This collection also contains one large banner and sash affixed with ERA political buttons donated by McGough, by way of the estate of Dorothy "Dottie" Tegeler (10/22/1945 to 11/23/1999). The banner was part of Missouri Now's convention boycott of unratified states. The boycott was part of the strategy called by the National Organization for Women in 1977 (and continued through the end of the extension period on June 30, 1982) to ratify the Equal Rights Amendment.
