Margaret Cruikshank Papers, 1971-1986
Owning Institution: June Mazer Lesbian Archives
About this Collection
A longtime lesbian activist and distinguished academic, Margaret Cruikshank (b. 1940) began her work in the 1970s at a time when lesbian studies barely existed and was one of the few lesbian academics in the U.S. to identify herself professionally as a lesbian. Her work has centered on raising awareness of lesbians within the academic profession and addressing the exclusion of lesbian literature and criticism from traditional canons and women's studies. The Margaret Cruikshank Papers consist of drafts, background/research notes, correspondence and publicity materials for three published works edited by Cruikshank; background/research files for women's studies and lesbian studies courses taught by Cruikshank; and related correspondence and publicity materials.
