VALDOSTA STATE MAGAZINE 19 Valdosta State University is home to the largest collection of “Equal Rights,” a historical periodical documenting the long struggle for gender equality in the United States of America and around the globe. Students from the Women’s and Gender Studies Program and Department of History are working to index three decades of the publication. Deborah Davis, director of VSU Archives and Special Collections, said it is painstaking work, but once it is complete, VSU will house the only indexed collection in the world. “Equal Rights” was first published in early 1923 by the National Woman’s Party, which was formed in 1916 to fight for women’s suffrage.
