| Abstract: |
The Women's Health Action and Mobilization (WHAM!) Records contain organizing records,
videos, photographs, and ephemera related to WHAM!'s support of women's health and
access to abortion. The collection contains documentation from individual members
of the group and records related to WHAM!'s collaboration with other organizations,
particularly ACT UP and mainstream women's organizations, including Planned Parenthood,
the National Abortion Rights Action League, and the National Organization for Women.
The collection, however, does not contain central administrative records of the organization,
such as minutes or official correspondence. Instead, the collection reflects the decentralized
and grassroots nature of WHAM!, which did not follow a hierarchical leadership structure,
but rotated responsibilities of record keeping between weekly facilitators.
