Due to the enthusiasm generated by the concert, the Artemis Sisters decided to continue creating events featuring women's music in the Morgantown area. By combining creative, political, and social engagements the Artemis Sisters sought to promote women's empowerment.","The early years of the collective were focused on sponsoring events featuring musicians, comedians, poets, and story tellers. Some musical acts and entertainers included Holly Near, Robin Flowers and Company, Robin Tyler, Sweet Honey and the Rock, ALIVE!, Hazel Dickens, and Deidre McCalla.","Almost immediately upon the group's formation, efforts were made to engage with the community politically and socially. Besides their interest in promoting creative and social pursuits, the Artemis Sisters became involved with political issues through committees and projects, including the Lorraine Momen Defense Committee, Stop Abuse of Womyn Project, Committee for Individual Rights, Justice in the House, People for Justice, Elizabeth Strickland Defense Committee, and the Linda Conway Defense Committee.","Members of the Artemis Sisters began their foray into activism with the Lorraine Momen Defense Committee in 1983, which sought to defend Lorraine Momen against the charge of murder of her husband, Wayman Momen, based upon the evidence of domestic abuse and self-defense. The Defense Committee engaged in community education activities to increase public awareness of family violence through leafletting, public meetings, media work, outreach, and event sponsoring. This committee developed into the Stop Abuse of Womyn Project (SAW) to support women facing violence more generally and educate the public on issues such as sexual assault, pornography, and domestic violence.","Artemis members ran a radio show, Something About the Women, focused on curating playlists of women's music, interviewing women from West Virginia, and reporting current events pertaining to women's lives. Something About the Women was aired on the West Virginia University student radio station and was instrumental in spreading news about Artemis activities among the University community.","Additionally, a gathering space and lending library called SisterSpace Collective was opened on December 3rd, 1983, to focus on creating spaces where women could learn and engage with other women in the community regardless of race, age, class, or sexual preference. The Sisterspace Collective was housed at 235 High Street in Morgantown and promoted and engaged with a wide variety of activities including hosting the Gay Alcoholics Anonymous and Gay and Lesbian Alliance (GALA) student group, Lesbian Incest \u0026 Rape Survivors Group and Gay Alanon. Although created by members of the Artemis Sisters, SisterSpace eventually became its own independent organization while maintaining close connections with Artemis due to the substantial number of women who were involved in both operations. The SisterSpace Collective worked with the National Organization for Women, Retired School Employees Association, Womens' Studies Program, West Virginia University School of Social Work, some members of the West Virginia Education Association, Womens' Information Center, and the Citizens' Action Group. They also collaborated with the local Morgantown Woman to Woman, Inc. group to host a Women's Help Line.","The Committee for Individual Rights was formed by the Artemis Sisters in response to the 1983 Opinion by West Virginia Attorney General, Chauncey Browning, that rumor and reputation may be used as criteria in determining fitness of schoolteachers. In 1986, the Artemis Sisters worked with GALA of West Virginia University in its hosting of the first West Virginia Gay and Lesbian Conference in West Virginia. The People for Justice Committee sought to support Betty Justice in her candidacy for the West Virginia House of Delegates.","In 1987, after almost four years of operation, the SisterSpace Collective chose to close its doors due to a lack of volunteers, library users, and meeting attendance. Despite the shuttering of the Artemis Collective upon the closing of SisterSpace, the members of the intertwined committees and collectives remained in contact and held reunions in 1990, 1993, and 2016.","This collection documents the activities of the Artemis Sisters Collective through their various committees, collectives, and projects between 1982 and 1987. Additional materials outside of this date range document reunions and research.","The bulk of material relates to activities sponsored and hosted by the Artemis Sisters, including musical acts, study groups, and educational sessions.

Due to the enthusiasm generated by the concert, the Artemis Sisters decided to continue creating events featuring women's music in the Morgantown area. By combining creative, political, and social engagements the Artemis Sisters sought to promote women's empowerment.","The early years of the collective were focused on sponsoring events featuring musicians, comedians, poets, and story tellers. Some musical acts and entertainers included Holly Near, Robin Flowers and Company, Robin Tyler, Sweet Honey and the Rock, ALIVE!, Hazel Dickens, and Deidre McCalla.","Almost immediately upon the group's formation, efforts were made to engage with the community politically and socially. Besides their interest in promoting creative and social pursuits, the Artemis Sisters became involved with political issues through committees and projects, including the Lorraine Momen Defense Committee, Stop Abuse of Womyn Project, Committee for Individual Rights, Justice in the House, People for Justice, Elizabeth Strickland Defense Committee, and the Linda Conway Defense Committee.","Members of the Artemis Sisters began their foray into activism with the Lorraine Momen Defense Committee in 1983, which sought to defend Lorraine Momen against the charge of murder of her husband, Wayman Momen, based upon the evidence of domestic abuse and self-defense. The Defense Committee engaged in community education activities to increase public awareness of family violence through leafletting, public meetings, media work, outreach, and event sponsoring. This committee developed into the Stop Abuse of Womyn Project (SAW) to support women facing violence more generally and educate the public on issues such as sexual assault, pornography, and domestic violence.","Artemis members ran a radio show, Something About the Women, focused on curating playlists of women's music, interviewing women from West Virginia, and reporting current events pertaining to women's lives. Something About the Women was aired on the West Virginia University student radio station and was instrumental in spreading news about Artemis activities among the University community.","Additionally, a gathering space and lending library called SisterSpace Collective was opened on December 3rd, 1983, to focus on creating spaces where women could learn and engage with other women in the community regardless of race, age, class, or sexual preference. The Sisterspace Collective was housed at 235 High Street in Morgantown and promoted and engaged with a wide variety of activities including hosting the Gay Alcoholics Anonymous and Gay and Lesbian Alliance (GALA) student group, Lesbian Incest \u0026 Rape Survivors Group and Gay Alanon. Although created by members of the Artemis Sisters, SisterSpace eventually became its own independent organization while maintaining close connections with Artemis due to the substantial number of women who were involved in both operations. The SisterSpace Collective worked with the National Organization for Women, Retired School Employees Association, Womens' Studies Program, West Virginia University School of Social Work, some members of the West Virginia Education Association, Womens' Information Center, and the Citizens' Action Group. They also collaborated with the local Morgantown Woman to Woman, Inc. group to host a Women's Help Line.","The Committee for Individual Rights was formed by the Artemis Sisters in response to the 1983 Opinion by West Virginia Attorney General, Chauncey Browning, that rumor and reputation may be used as criteria in determining fitness of schoolteachers. In 1986, the Artemis Sisters worked with GALA of West Virginia University in its hosting of the first West Virginia Gay and Lesbian Conference in West Virginia. The People for Justice Committee sought to support Betty Justice in her candidacy for the West Virginia House of Delegates.","In 1987, after almost four years of operation, the SisterSpace Collective chose to close its doors due to a lack of volunteers, library users, and meeting attendance. Despite the shuttering of the Artemis Collective upon the closing of SisterSpace, the members of the intertwined committees and collectives remained in contact and held reunions in 1990, 1993, and 2016.","This collection documents the activities of the Artemis Sisters Collective through their various committees, collectives, and projects between 1982 and 1987.

They both transferred to the University of Idaho in Moscow, Idaho to continue their education.","After Gary L. Brown's graduation from the University of Idaho with his doctorate in chemical engineering, the couple moved to Charleston, West Virginia for his employment with Union Carbide. During the move from Idaho to West Virginia in 1969, Brown gave birth to her daughter Mollie Brown in Kansas. After the birth of her second child, Joel, Brown graduated from the Morris Harvey College (now the University of Charleston) in Charleston, West Virginia in 1972 with a Bachelor of Arts in English. She was elected president of the Charleston Chapter National Organization for Women (NOW) in 1975. That same year she attended the National Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) Task Force as a representative for West Virginia. She also organized the first \"People's Lobby\" around public interest legislation as the legislative coordinator for the West Virginia Citizen's Action Group.","In 1976, she stepped down as the president of Charleston NOW to become the president of the state chapter, West Virginia NOW. She would hold this position until 1978. During her time as president of West Virginia NOW, she was the West Virginia delegate to the National Women's Conference in Houston, Texas in 1977 and the West Virginia convenor for the U.S. National Women's Agenda. In 1977, she founded the now-defunct Women's Repertory Theatre in Charleston, West Virginia, which sought to combine politics and women's theater.","In 1978, she stepped down as president of West Virginia NOW to serve as the legislative coordinator and chief lobbyist. During this time, she was active as a consultant and field organizer for the national ERA movement and as a lobbyist in West Virginia, Washington, D.C., Virginia, Kentucky, Delaware, Florida, and Vermont.","She began a formal political career in 1982. She represented District 23 in the West Virginia House of Delegates from 1982-1988 and 1990 and District 30 from 1992-1994 and 2000-2012.","During her time in the legislature, she was a member of a variety of committees and commissions, most notably the Constitutional Revision Committee, Health and Welfare Committee, Judiciary Committee, Legislative Commission on Juvenile Law, Select Committee on Children and Families, Women's Legislative Caucus, and South Charleston Human Rights Commission.","After an unsuccessful run for reelection in 2012, Brown did not attempt to run for another political position. As of 2025 April, she lives in Charleston, West Virginia.","This collection contains the papers of Bonnie L.

Brown is a former representative in the West Virginia House of Delegates (1982-2012) best known for her advocacy for women's rights.","Brown was born Bonnie Louise Wonderley in San Francisco, California to Thelma Asbury and Wilbert Wonderly on October 5th, 1942.\nAfter being raised between California and Oregon, she attended Oregon State University in Corvallis, Oregon, where she met fellow student Gary Leigh Brown, and they married in 1965 June. They both transferred to the University of Idaho in Moscow, Idaho to continue their education.","After Gary L. Brown's graduation from the University of Idaho with his doctorate in chemical engineering, the couple moved to Charleston, West Virginia for his employment with Union Carbide. During the move from Idaho to West Virginia in 1969, Brown gave birth to her daughter Mollie Brown in Kansas. After the birth of her second child, Joel, Brown graduated from the Morris Harvey College (now the University of Charleston) in Charleston, West Virginia in 1972 with a Bachelor of Arts in English. She was elected president of the Charleston Chapter National Organization for Women (NOW) in 1975. That same year she attended the National Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) Task Force as a representative for West Virginia. She also organized the first \"People's Lobby\" around public interest legislation as the legislative coordinator for the West Virginia Citizen's Action Group.","In 1976, she stepped down as the president of Charleston NOW to become the president of the state chapter, West Virginia NOW. She would hold this position until 1978. During her time as president of West Virginia NOW, she was the West Virginia delegate to the National Women's Conference in Houston, Texas in 1977 and the West Virginia convenor for the U.S. National Women's Agenda. In 1977, she founded the now-defunct Women's Repertory Theatre in Charleston, West Virginia, which sought to combine politics and women's theater.","In 1978, she stepped down as president of West Virginia NOW to serve as the legislative coordinator and chief lobbyist. During this time, she was active as a consultant and field organizer for the national ERA movement and as a lobbyist in West Virginia, Washington, D.C., Virginia, Kentucky, Delaware, Florida, and Vermont.","She began a formal political career in 1982. She represented District 23 in the West Virginia House of Delegates from 1982-1988 and 1990 and District 30 from 1992-1994 and 2000-2012.","During her time in the legislature, she was a member of a variety of committees and commissions, most notably the Constitutional Revision Committee, Health and Welfare Committee, Judiciary Committee, Legislative Commission on Juvenile Law, Select Committee on Children and Families, Women's Legislative Caucus, and South Charleston Human Rights Commission.","After an unsuccessful run for reelection in 2012, Brown did not attempt to run for another political position. As of 2025 April, she lives in Charleston, West Virginia.","This collection contains the papers of Bonnie L. Brown, a feminist activist and former representative in the West Virginia House of Delegates (1982-2012).

Upon graduation from Hunter College High School in 1957, she began higher education at Barnard College with a four-year scholarship from the New York State Regents, graduating in 1961 with her B.A. in English. While attending Barnard College, she met Robert Stitzel, a pharmacologist, whom she would marry in 1961. They remained married until Robert's death in 2007.","She received her M.A. in English from the University of Wisconsin in 1962. While working on her Ph.D. in English at the University of Minnesota, the Stitzels had their first and only child, David. Stitzel graduated with her Ph.D. in 1968 with the dissertation \"Comedy and the Serious Moralist: The Sexual Ethic in Henry Fielding's Tom Jones\". In 1965, before graduating from the University of Minnesota, Stitzel began working as an instructor in the English department at West Virginia University, where she would remain in employment in several capacities until her retirement in 1998.","Her academic positions at WVU include instructor (1965-1968), assistant professor (1968-1972), associate professor (1972-1979), professor (1979-1998), director of the Writing Laboratory (1969-1973), coordinator of the Women's Studies Program (1980-1984), and director of the Center for Women's Studies (1984-1993).","After expanding courses in WVU's English department to include women's studies topics in the 1970s, Stitzel co-developed and coordinated the Women's Studies Program as an academic discipline at WVU, which would in 1984 become the Center for Women's Studies, and in 2012 the Center for Women's and Gender Studies.","While employed with WVU, she was active in a variety of ways, including as an advisor to student organizations such as the Student Action for Appalachian Progress (SAAP) (1972-1975), Mortarboard (1972-1975), and Women's Center (1975-1982).","She was also active in several non-WVU organizations, including the Modern Language Association (1968-1986), National Council of Teachers of English (1973-1980), Conference of College Composition and Communication (1972-1980), North Central Women's Studies Association (1978-1994), and National Women's Studies Association (1980- ).","Throughout her career, Stitzel published many articles, some of which featured in the Appalachian Review, Frontiers: A Journal of Women's Studies, The Japan Women's Studies Journal, and West Virginia History.","After her professional retirement in 1998, Stitzel remained active in West Virginia and WVU. She was president of the Suncrest Neighborhood Association in the late 1990s and early 2000s and was active in the process of creating the Morgantown Comprehensive Plan during that period.","After the death of her husband Robert, Stitzel wrote and published the book Field Notes From Grief: The First Year in 2012, documenting the first year after his death.","Stitzel was also an early member and contributor to the West Virginia Feminist Activist and Women's History Collection (WVFAWHC), a project of the West Virginia and Regional History Center, which began archiving materials in the early 2020s.
