Papers of Marcia Federbush (1934- ), author of the first study of sex discrimination in a public school and of the first Title IX complaint against a university (University of Michigan). Federbush was inducted into The Michigan Women's Hall of Fame for being at the forefront of the efforts for gender equality. The collection includes correspondence, pamphlets, articles, brochures, and laws regarding gender equality. A significant amount of the collection contains the draft for Federbush's unfinished book about discrimination in public education.

The collection contains mostly letters, articles, reports, and essays concerning equality among the sexes. Although most of the collection contains work by Federbush, there are many parts to the collection that were not written by her but may have served as inspiration for her own projects. Throughout the collection, if a folder is not specifically labeled "by Federbush" then there are mixtures of items written by different people contained in the folder. The collection is divided into three series: Equality in Education, Equality in Employment, and Equality in Athletics.
