This sub-series holds correspondence, press clippings, office manuals, memos, reports and agendas. Status of Women was politically delicate when McLean was nominated to the post of Secretary of State for Status of Women as one of his major responsibilities. The series holds documentation on the development of the women's movement in this period, and its diverse tendencies. It is very rich in records on world conferences dealing with women's issues (Mexico City 1975, Copenhagen 1980); the UN Nairobi Conference is very richly documented in this series (fact sheets, hand book, strategies for advancement, McLean's address, press clippings, briefings and reports on proceedings, with occasional annotation and ms notes by McLean). There is a departmental program inventory which again is useful and germane to the matter of women's rights and advancement. There is also a run of ministerial correspodnence, filed by province, of McLean's dealings with women's organizations and movements.
