  <abstract>Correspondence, speeches, writings, family papers, subject files, an autograph collection, and other papers relating chiefly to Park's activities on behalf of women's suffrage and her association with the League of Women Voters (U.S.), National American Woman Suffrage Association, and Boston Equal Suffrage Association for Good Government, later the League of Women Voters of Boston.  Includes material pertaining to her efforts to ensure the documentary legacy of the suffrage movement including the development of the Woman's Rights Collection at Radcliffe College, established as the Women's Archives in 1948, later the Arthur and Elizabeth Schlesinger Library on the History of Women in America, and the manuscript holdings in women's history at the Library of Congress and elsewhere.  Family papers include Park's correspondence with her husbands, Charles Edward Park and Robert Freeman Hunter; the Civil War memoirs of her father, James R. Wood, Sr., a Union scout during the war; and material pertaining to the Hunter and Wood families.  Individuals represented in the autograph collection include Louisa May Alcott, Clara Barton, Louis Dembitz Brandeis, William Cullen Bryant, Frederick Douglass, Robert Frost, William Lloyd Garrison, Jeannette Rankin, Harriet Beecher Stowe, and Booker T. Washington.  Park's correspondents include Florence Ellinwood Allen, Jennie L. Barron, Helen Biscoe, Alice Stone Blackwell, Carrie Chapman Catt, Inez Haynes Gillmore, W.K. Jordan, Mary H. Page, Mary Gray Peck, Pauline A. Shaw, Belle Sherwin, Edna Lamprey Stantial, Ann Webster, and Mabel Caldwell Willard.</abstract>
