Description
Scope and Content
Correspondence, manuscripts, documents, notes, photographs, and printed material of
Winter. The papers cover primarily the years after 1952 when she and Stewart settled in
England to avoid involvement in the House Un-American Activities Committee
investigations. Winter traveled widely in Russia, visited China in 1958, and spent nine
months in Ghana in 1965. Her journeys are well documented in this collection. Among the
manuscripts are drafts for many of her periodical articles, typescripts of her
autobiography
And Not to Yield
, and articles written about her travels. Also, files on
art, the labor movement in California, Robinson Jeffers, the McCarthy era, Lincoln
Steffens, and Vietnam. There are numerous photographs taken on her trips abroad,
including her work with the Friends of Austria, 1920, of many theatrical productions,
and of her family and home. Because of her eclectic interests she was acquainted with
many prominent individuals in politics, literature, theatre, and the arts. Among the
major correspondents are Edward Albee, Charles and Oona Chaplin, W.E.B. Du Bois,
Katharine Hepburn, Carey McWilliams, Kwame Nkrumah, Sean O'Casey, and Muriel
Rukeyser.
