This is a group of autograph letters that has been brought together from many individual accessions. Many of these accessions were acquired from Miss Winifred A Myers. Some are of unknown provenance, found in a box labelled 'autograph letters awaiting listing' during the move into the new building, 2002 and formally accessioned, July 2003. A few of the accessions have been purchased.

The collection primarily contains single letters that have been donated or purchased by the Library over a period of time. It contains letters from various notable women including Millicent Garrett Fawcett, Christabel Pankhurst, Agnes Maude Royden and Edith How-Martyn. Subjects covered include the women's suffrage campaign, nursing during the Crimean War and entry of women into the professions.

The letters are not arranged in chronological or alphabetical order. Most of the letters are stored in an album; oversize letters are stored in an archive box.

This collection is available for research. Readers are advised to contact The Women's Library in advance of their first visit.
