Charlotte Stopes was born in Edinburgh, the daughter of Jas.F.Carmichael, a landscape painter.

In her early days she wrote some stories for Chambers's Juvenile Series, and later wrote many books and articles mostly related to Shakespeare.

A small part of the collection was found in the University College London Library basement, and the remainder was extracted from the Librarian's office in 1970.

The collection mainly relates to Stopes' work on Shakespeare, though there is a little general correspondence, and some notes on women's suffrage and other women's questions.
