Biographical / Historical
Brigid O'Farrell has served as an independent scholar and women's rights researcher since the early 1970s, where she has been
dedicated to uplifting women in nontraditional jobs and the organizations and unions that support them. After obtaining her
master in Sociology from Harvard Graduate School of Education in 1973, O'Farrell became more involved with labor history and
education. She was invited to attend the Union Women's Regional Summer School in Connecticut as a student. Barbara Mayer Wertheimer,
a professor at the New York State School of Industrial and Labor Relations, Cornell University, invited O'Farrell to co-teach
in the second school at the University of Pennsylvania in 1977. Later, she co-directed the third school, in 1978, at the University
of Massachusetts, Amherst, with Harvey Friedman, long-time labor activist and director of the University of Massachusetts
Labor Relations and Research Center. O'Farrell stayed a part of the program, which set up workshops and informational classes
that taught women within nontraditional labor jobs their rights as workers and as women, until her move to Washington D.C.
in 1968, but she would return to the program in 2011, where she published reports on her findings within the institution.
After moving to California, in 2001, she attended the National Trades Women Conference in Denver, CO. The first Women Building
California State Conference was held in 2002. There, O'Farrell presented her first Women's Labor History Workshop for tradeswomen
at the third state conference in 2004 and began developing a working relationship with tradeswomen organizations in California
through 2010.
From 2011 to 2019 O'Farrell was involved in the National Tradeswomen Conference, now Tradeswomen Build Nations (TWBN) Conference,
in several different roles. First, O'Farrell developed an Eleanor Roosevelt Leadership Workshop for tradeswomen that was presented
at several conferences with enthusiastic attendance. Second, working with Carolyn Jacobson and the Berger Marks Foundation,
they attended TWBN and provided foundation materials for union women, especially around mentoring and women's committees.
Third, she served as a researcher working with Ariane Hegewisch, in which they conducted a focus group for a survey on tradeswomen
issues (Institute for Women's Policy Research) in 2012, distributed surveys in 2013, and presented results at a workshop in
2014 and 2015. At that time, they helped establish a Research Committee as part of the Task Force on Tradeswomen's Issues
which met as a caucus group at the TWBN conference with the goal of attracting more scholars to address tradeswomen's issues.
O'Farrell's interest in women's labor history and education is what lead her to begin her research on Eleanor Roosevelt for
her successful book,
She Was One of Us. Throughout her career, she has served as a successful researcher and writer that has been cited multiple times in different
academic and scholarly articles.

Series VII: National Writers Union (NWU)
1998-2019
Scope and Contents
Brigid O'Farrell joined the National Writers Union, United Auto Workers (UAW) Local 1981 in 1996 in Washington D.C. but was
not active at first. The NWU offered many services to their members such as free advice on book contracts, grievance assistance,
and more. As a member, O'Farrell met and worked with many women, such as Dottie Jones. Jones had worked as an auto assembler
at Chrysler in 1966 where she had witnessed sex discrimination and harassment firsthand. She was an active member within the
Union, serving as the first African American woman appointed to the staff in the UAW President's office and as a mentor to
other tradeswomen. Included in the series are documents from Dottie Jones' work on affirmative action. By 2011, O'Farrell
had become an active member of the NWU. After the publication of She Was One of Us, the chair of O'Farrell's local NWU in
San Francisco invited her to a union meeting, and due to Roosevelt's close ties to the union, O'Farrell attended. While they
started as a small chapter, they began to work on increased membership and activism; such as having tables and talks with
organizations like the San Francisco Writing for Change and the Bay Area Book Fair. In 2013, O'Farrell was elected to be a
delegate for the NWU Delegate Assembly in New York, and again in 2015 and 2018. As a member of the UAW and NWU, she also worked
closely with the International Federation of Journalists. In 2016, she attended the United Nations Commissions on the Status
of Women Conference. Included are materials and articles written by O'Farrell about the conference. Also included in this
series are UAW articles, photographs, statements, and other materials from conferences and meetings, flyers, pamphlets, press
cards, from NWU and IFJ, in addition to other documents.

a single working mother herself, she improved the lives of working women by researching, writing, and teaching about equal
opportunity, equal pay, part-time work, childcare, and unions in many countries. Cook had been working at the Wellesley Center
before O'Farrell joined and was the person that advised O'Farrell to learn how to use a computer. While Cook did not work
