Women in Vermont: A BibliographyCompiled by M arilyn S. B lackw ell
Abundant resources exist for the study of women in Vermont. The following bibliography lists sources for exploring the condition of women’s lives and their contribution to Vermont’s cultural heritage. It extends Faith Pepe’s “Bibliography of Women in Vermont,” published in Vermont History in 1977, by supplementing the list of nineteenth-century sources and adding twentieth-century materials. It focuses on women’s daily experiences and their activities in social organizations.
I have selected materials that would be useful for a wide range of research projects. The bibliography includes both primary sources for scholarly work and secondary material, some of which may be of limited value. I included some biographical sources under various subject categories to highlight the variety of women’s achievements but do not intend the list to be comprehensive, especially for women in the arts. I chose manuscript listings based on the size and significance of the women’s content.
Almost all sources listed below can be found at the Vermont Historical Society Library (VHS) or in the Wilbur Collection, Bailey-Howe Library, University of Vermont (UVM). Rare printed materials and manuscripts are specifically identified by location. The manuscript section also includes a selection of materials at the Sheldon Museum, Middlebury, Vermont. Private family papers in these repositories contain significant material relating to Vermont women, but they have not always been catalogued to highlight women’s content. Researchers should consult the libraries’ descriptive indexes for these family papers to determine the exact nature and quantity of women’s material. I included the dates, location, and careers of women if they are identified through the manuscript indexes.
This bibliography should be used in conjunction with Faith Pepe’s work and Vermont: A Bibliography o f Its History, edited by T. D. Seymour Bassett (Boston: Committee for a New England Bibliography, 1981). I also recommend to researchers The Vermonter, the first state magazine,

which printed many articles about Vermont women and women’s organizations, especially from 1895 until 1907. Faith Pepe’s and Vivian Bryan’s “Bibliographical and Biographical Index of Vermont Women,” on cards at the Vermont Historical Society Library, is a valuable tool for investigating individual careers. The Wilbur Collection holds a number of undergraduate papers with women’s content, which may be useful as secondary sources.
Additional locations of material relating to Vermont women include some local and regional historical societies in the state, local church and town archives, and women’s history collections in other New England states. The local history material at Brooks Memorial Library in Brat- tleboro includes secondary sources on individual women and Brattleboro’s women’s organizations. The Sophia Smith collection, Neilson Library, Smith College, has a limited amount of material relating to distinguished Vermont women, i.e. Myra Colby Bradwell, Sarah Cleghorn, Dorothy Canfield Fisher, Mary Wilkins Freeman, and others. The Schlesinger Library, Radcliffe College, houses a small amount of primary material relating to Harriet Beecher Stowe (in Brattleboro, 1846-47), Clarina Howard Nichols, and collections of the Bradley and Gamble families of Westminster and Brattleboro.
I would like to thank Faith Pepe for her helpful comments and suggested additions to this updated bibliography. Connell Gallagher at the Wilbur Collection, University of Vermont, and Polly C. Darnell at the Sheldon Museum provided invaluable assistance on the manuscript listings. Ellen Blackmer of the Vermont Historical Society staff deserves special praise for her patience in typing numerous drafts of the final bibliography. As we gather information on women in Vermont, we anticipate a lengthy discussion of their place in the state’s past.
