Throughout the four active years of the group's existence, the Boston WAC participated in marches and rallies for pro-choice, lesbian and gay rights, and welfare rights. They also placed artwork, stickers, and posters in public places to raise awareness about issues such as domestic violence, unequal pay for women, and welfare reform measures. Beginning in 1995, active participation in the Boston WAC declined. The New York chapter stopped meeting in November 1995 due to lack of membership, but the Boston WAC continued to meet until September 28, 1996. The collection documents the Boston WAC's direct actions, membership, and positions on women's issues, such as domestic violence, abortion, gender inequality, sexuality, health, and welfare.
Most documentation concerns the group's protests and other acts of resistance.
