Subseries A. Six Point Group

Subseries A, Six Point Group (#50.9-61.6), contains correspondence, clippings, minutes, notes, printed materials, etc. The Six Point Group was a non-party political organization founded in 1921 by Lady Rhondda and other suffragists with the goal of improving the status of women through education and Parliamentary measures. Some of the topics addressed by the group included equal education, equal pay, equal partnership in marriage, pensions, abortion, etc. Hunkins-Hallinan served terms as both secretary and president of the organization and was president when the group disbanded in 1981. Files document the internal workings of the organization, including numerous discussions of disbanding and disagreements the group had with the Fawcett Society. Additional files document a program maintained by the group that provided speakers to address organizations and to speak to girls still in school. Also represented are lobbying efforts made by the group on behalf and against specific Parliamentary measures. Hunkins-Hallinan actively collected Six Point Group records from other members. She donated those records, along with most of her own, to the Women's Library in London. Files are arranged alphabetically with general and administrative files first, followed by correspondence and subject files.
