The Australian Women's Register

The papers in MS 9360 form an artificial series put together by Edna Ryan. They consist mainly of personal correspondence between Beryl Henderson and Edna Ryan over a period of thirteen years, 1977-1990. Edna Ryan had kept Henderson’s letters and also a carbon copy of her response to each letter. She had also preserved other material including correspondence with others and newscuttings relating to the translation of “Abortion: the Bobigny affair” from the French. Edna Ryan acted as agent for Beryl Henderson in negotiations with the publisher, Wild and Wooley, and also assisted in fundraising activities to enable the book to be published in Australia. The main correspondents are Beryl Henderson, Edna Ryan and Florence Robinson (4 boxes).
