White paper with black type. A leaflet providing information on the Coalition of Australian Participating Organisations of Women, abbreviated to CAPOW, including how and why the Coalition was formed. The leaflet also includes information about several events the Coalition is coordinating, including a weekend of forums to be held around Australia on 21 and 22 August in an unspecified year, at which women can discuss issues to be taken to the Beijing World Conference on Women, as well as a national conference to be held in Canberra on 26-28 November in an unspecified year.

8 pages, each a different colour (blue, white, yellow, cream), with black type. The first two pages are likely authored by Freda Brown, addressing members of the National Committee Union of Australian Women on June 17, 1972. The first two pages summarise the main decisions made at the Women's International Democratic Federation Council Meeting in Varna, Bulgaria, in 1972. The following 6 pages are attachments referred to in the summary as documents adopted at the Council Meeting. Attachments include a call to action to women around the world to demand peace in Indo China; a summary of recommendations arising from a Council Meeting debate on the role of women's organisations in integrating young women into the economic, political, social and cultural spheres of their countries; and an appeal from Women's International Democratic Federation Council representatives from Vietnam, Laos, United States, Canada, Australia, the German Federal Republic, Japan and Great Britain to women's organisations and members to protest the war in Vietnam.

Five page essay on the women's movement written by Biff Ward with the help of the Survivors - a Canberra Feminist Group. Most likely written in the 1980s.

Song lyrics, reneo printed on yellow paper with black ink. There appear to be four separate songs listed here, two of which seem to be new lyrics set to an existing melody. There are no identifying features as to date or origin but the content of all is of a feminist nature: One is specifically about the right to abortion, another is about the daily life of a wife and mother, portrayed as comprised primarily of domestic chores and child care. The other two are more abstract and inspirational.

Includes small amount of material extending to 1968, and several leaflets issued by other organisations and its New South Wales Branch.
