General JAP correspondence from Merfish, 1988-06 - 1991-11

Three boxes of correspondence, awards, memorabilia, photographic slides, speeches, sermons, and conference/meeting and marketing/publicity materials document Sherry Merfish's activism from 1971 to 1993 to end the negative stereotyping of Jewish women in the guise of the "Jewish American Princess" and, to a lesser extent, her work with EMILY'S List. Of particular interest is correspondence from Merfish to individuals and organizations that had employed the JAP stereotype, a number of JAP greeting cards, a JAP paper doll book, and a letter from Ann Richards just prior to her announcing a run for Texas governor.
