Marion Marzolf made an addition on 20 April 1994 (Accession No. 5417). The papers are part of the National Women and Media Collection. These accessions were added to the processed collection in 2008. BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH

Donna Allen was born in Petoskey, Michigan, on August 19, 1920, to Caspar and Louise Rehkopf. The family moved to Chicago in 1929. From an early age Donna was interested in how people communicated with each other and how information influenced decisions. In high school she worked on the school newspaper. She attended Morton Junior College in Chicago and majored in history, was the editor of the college newspaper, and also took creative writing courses.

In 1941, she transferred to Duke University where she became interested in the labor movement. She married Russell Allen in 1942 and graduated from Duke in 1943. During World War II, she worked as an Assistant Cryptographic Specialist in the War Department in Washington, D.C. When her husband entered the Air Force she moved to California, where he was stationed.

Donna came into contact with the labor movement while she was in California. When her husband was sent overseas to the Pacific, she returned to Washington and became assistant to the Director of Research of the Metal Trades Department of the AFL. After the birth of her first child in 1945, Donna did much of her work at home, writing and editing various labor publications.

When Russell Allen returned home after the war, the Allens entered the University of Chicago where they each received their M.A. in economics with an emphasis in industrial relations and government finance. The family moved to Albany, New York, and then to Schenectady, where Donna taught for Cornell University's School of Industrial and Labor Relations. By 1951, the Allens had four children: Dana, Indra, Martha, and Mark.

During the 1950s, Donna became concerned about the way the media communicated information to the public, feeling that a handful of men were able to control what the public knew and the slant of the news. Her efforts during the 1950s and 1960s revolved around offering another view of the important topics of the day: nuclear weapons, the labor movement, civil rights, civil

C3795 Allen, Donna (1920-1999), Papers, 1920-1992 page 2 liberties, and the Vietnam War. She lectured on the economic benefits of disarmament and wrote a book on fringe benefits in the workplace.

She was a founding member of Women Strike for Peace, involved with Women’s International League for Peace and Freedom, and on the board of directors of the National Conference for New Politics, an organization dedicated to changing the two major political parties by offering new ideas about issues they were not addressing.

In 1965, she was convicted of contempt of Congress for refusing to testify to the House Un-American Activities Committee. She and her co-defendants would have testified if the hearing was open to the public, but HUAC insisted it be a closed session. Her conviction was later overturned and the case became a rallying point for the National Committee to Abolish HUAC.

In 1968, she returned to school and received her PhD from Howard University, graduating in 1971. By the late 1960s, Donna Allen increasingly turned her energies towards the women's movement. In 1972, she founded the Women's Institute for Freedom of the Press and began to publish Media Report to Women. Many of her efforts centered on getting more women into positions of authority in the media.

Besides the Women's Institute for Freedom of the Press, Donna Allen was also active in the National Women's Political Caucus, the National Women's Party, and the National Organization for Women. She was a Public Member of the Media Committee of the International Women's Year National Women's Conference in Houston, Texas, in 1977 as well as a delegate at large.

She died on 19 July 1999 at her home in Washington, D.C. SCOPE AND CONTENT NOTE

The bulk of this collection documents Allen’s years as founder and director of the Women’s Institute for Freedom of the Press (WIFP). She also edited and published the WIFP's monthly newsletter, Media Report to Women. Through Allen, the newsletter became a principal source of information on the rapidly growing women's media movement. The collection reflects the important roles the WIFP and Media Report to Women have played in the field of women and the media. Allen's papers not only serve as an excellent source of information about the media's treatment of women and minorities, but also as a commentary on that treatment as well.

The final three series of the collection were added in 2008 and there may be some overlap with other series which were processed earlier. These new series document Allen’s education and extensive career as an historian, economist, author, professor, journalist, and activist, as well as provide further insight into the day to day operation of WIFP.

The collection is arranged into fourteen series: Media Report to Women; Broadcasting Cases; Guidelines for Media Language Usage; Portrayal of Women in Media; Minorities and Women in Media; Film, Video, and Cable; National and International Efforts for Women and Media; National Women's Agenda; Dateline Copenhagen; Dateline Nairobi; Discrimination Cases; Newsletters; Education and Professional; and Women’s Institute for Freedom of the Press.

The Media Report to Women series is composed, primarily, of early correspondence. The correspondence is arranged alphabetically by correspondent's name and is between Donna Allen and various women's organizations, editors of feminist publications, radio-television media women, and others. Also included are annotated indexes to the newsletter for the years 1972-1986.

The Broadcasting Cases series contains correspondence, newsletters, handbooks, surveys,

C3795 Allen, Donna (1920-1999), Papers, 1920-1992 page 3 newspaper clippings, petitions, scripts, publications, and reports pertaining to such topics as television and radio monitoring studies, the Federal Communications Commission, public radio and educational broadcasting, women in broadcasting, public broadcasting, and the American Federation of Television and Radio Artists. Documents relating to the National Organization for Women's (NOW) license challenges against the American Broadcast Company and National Broadcast Company are also included.

One section of this series pertains to the American Federation of Television and Radio Artists, which conducted numerous television, and radio monitoring projects. This section contains information on their studies, reports, and actions and includes newspaper and magazine articles, correspondence, analyses, press releases, surveys, speeches, publications, legal documents, and newsletters.

Another section of this series concerns the case of NOW vs. ABC. On 1 May 1972, the New York chapter of NOW filed a petition to deny the license renewal of WABC-TV on charges of discrimination in the employment and portrayal of women. Negotiations between the chapter and WABC began late in May and continued through the beginning of October. When an agreement could not be reached, negotiations were broken off, and ABC (the parent company) filed a response to the NOW petition. NOW filed a counter response. Two years later, the FCC made its final decision and NOW took the case to the U.S. Court of Appeals.

The Guidelines for Media Language Usage series contains correspondence, newsletters, publications, reports, newspaper clippings, bulletins, press releases, and magazines pertaining to such topics as sexism, media stereotypes, nonsexist language, and the American Association of University Women (AAUW). A set of audio cassettes relating to a sex stereotyping project are found in this series. The audio cassettes were produced by Dr. Patricia Campbell as part of her "Project on Sex Stereotyping in Education." Distributed by the Education Development Center, these cassettes represent seven instructional units on sex stereotyping in business education, special education, early childhood education, the fine arts, research, mathematics, and curriculum. See folders 309-312 for other products from Dr. Campbell's project.

Correspondence, surveys, newspaper and magazine articles, bulletins, advertisements, newsletters, reports, and press releases relating to women's news, news definitions, women's pages, daytime programming, soap operas, women's programming, the National Commission on Working Women, and the Inter-American Commission of Women (CIM) make up the Portrayal of Women in Media series. Also included is material on women and advertising.

The Minorities and Women in Media series consists of correspondence, newspaper clippings, reports, newsletters, press releases, publications, and fliers concerning such topics as home education, black feminism, minorities and the media, the educational and occupational needs of women, and the American Indian Movement (AIM).

The Film, Video, and Cable series is made up of correspondence, newsletters, fliers, press releases, newspaper clippings, programs, catalogs, brochures, and reports pertaining to festivals of women's films and video productions, women filmmakers, the portrayal of women in films, and the efforts of women to establish women's channels on cable television in several major cities. The series also contains information on careers in cable television.

The National and International Efforts for Women and Media series consists of correspondence, press releases, reports, newspaper and magazine articles, programs, publications, speeches, newsletters, and brochures relating to the National Women's Studies Association, the

C3795 Allen, Donna (1920-1999), Papers, 1920-1992 page 4 MORE Conventions, national women's conferences, the women's conference network, and the International Women's Media Conference. There are documents pertaining to the United Nations International Women's Year, the National Women's Conference, and the National Women's Agenda. Because of an overlap in subject matter, researchers should consult the succeeding three series and the WIFP series for further information on International Women's Year and its developments.

The National Women's Agenda series documents the response to the International Women's Year (IWY), by the United States women's community, which created the National Women's Agenda, a document outlining the goals to be achieved for women to win equal rights. IWY 1975 mandated that each member of the United Nations focus on its own problems and gains in women's rights. Despite the readiness of U.S. women and women's organizations to meet this mandate, many felt there was no real vehicle through which to participate in U.S. IWY planning and activities.

In response to this situation, the Women's Action Alliance, a non-profit resource center for women's organizations, contacted nationally-based women's groups interested in women's issues. From these contacts and meetings came the National Women's Agenda. The Agenda was composed of eleven goals, with a national task force organized around each goal. The Women's Action Alliance served as coordinator for Agenda activities, including the task forces. It also published the Women's Agenda, a monthly news magazine. This series consists of newsletters, correspondence, press releases, speeches, publications, articles, and reports dealing with the National Women's Agenda and its Satellite Service Project.

In 1980 the United Nations Mid-Decade World Conference convened in Copenhagen, Denmark, to evaluate the first half of the U.N. Decade for Women and discuss plans for the second five years. The Women's Institute for Freedom of the Press (WIFP) sponsored two satellite teleconferences linking women attending the conference with groups of women in the United States. The WIFP sent a small media team to Copenhagen to produce daily videotaped reports on the conference and such related events as the Non-Governmental Organization's (NGO) Forum and the International Festival of Women Artists. The videotapes were screened at six regional workshops in the U.S. and then in two closed-circuit teleconferences.

The conferences included women assembled by the National Women's Conference Committee to reflect the U.S. population. The first conference consisted of three groups of women in Houston, Los Angeles, and Minneapolis. The second conference was composed of groups in Atlanta, Boston, and Washington, D.C. The entire project was called "Dateline Copenhagen: Women's View."

The Dateline Copenhagen series consists of correspondence, reports, newspapers, articles, newsletters, and press releases covering the conference and the satellite teleconferences. Also included is material on activities regarding the media sponsored by individual women and women's groups, prior to and after the conference.

The Dateline Nairobi series documents the third United Nations World Conference of Women held in Nairobi, Kenya, in 1985. The purpose of the conference was to review and appraise the achievements of the Decade for Women and formulate goals and programs for the future. The Women's Institute for Freedom of the Press (WIFP) again sponsored two satellite teleconferences, linking women attending the Nairobi conference with groups of women leaders in three U.S. cities. Entitled "Dateline Nairobi--Women's View," the satellite teleconference project was part of INTELSAT's "Project Share." Satellites for Health and Rural Education, or Project Share, was a

C3795 Allen, Donna (1920-1999), Papers, 1920-1992 page 5 special eighteen-month test and demonstration period whereby INTELSAT provided free satellite space for health and education purposes in developing countries.

The first teleconference took place on 17 July 1985, between conference delegates and women assembled in New York City and Boston. The second teleconference was held on 24 July between conference delegates and women in Washington, D.C. and Boston. This series contains correspondence, reports, newspapers, articles, newsletters, and press releases concerning the End-of-Decade Conference and the satellite teleconferences.

Reports, correspondence, newspapers, newsletters, articles, legal documents, publications, and speeches dealing with sex and race discrimination cases, sexual harassment lawsuits, broadcast license renewals, and the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) make up the Discrimination Cases series. Material on media change organizations and women in management can also be found in this series.

The Newsletters series consists of the Media Report to Women newsletters, 1972-1987, and an index/directory for volumes one and two. The Education and Professional series documents Allen’s education and activities leading up to her founding WIFP. The series is arranged chronologically and includes information on her teaching career at Cornell’s School of Industrial and Labor Relations, her book entitled, Fringe Benefits, and her membership in Women Strike for Peace and Women’s International League for Peace and Freedom, both of which were early protesters of the Vietnam War and the nuclear arms race. Also included in this series is her battle with the HUAC, other political activities, and personal and family papers. The Women’s Institute for Freedom of the Press series includes correspondence with members, records documenting the founding and early organization of WIFP, conference materials, publicity clippings, and Allen’s writings. There is some overlap of topics from previous series including sex discrimination cases and WIFP’s work with other organizations and events such as the U.N.’s International Women’s Year and National Women’s Conference. WIFP also published a series of booklets concerning the democratization of the media; Syllabus Sourcebook on Media and Women; and Women in Media: A Documentary Sourcebook. In addition, the organization had a program called “Historical Originals,” whose goal was to make available materials related to the women’s movement which were first published in the 1960s and 1970s. These publications include: Black Belt Woman, The Celibate Woman, No More Fun and Games, Musica, and Paid My Dues.
