Biography
Roxanne Barton Conlin, lawyer,
feminist and civil justice activist, was the oldest of Marion W. and Alyce M.
Barton's six children. Born on June 30,
1944 in Huron, South Dakota, Roxanne Barton and her family moved to Sioux City,
Iowa, when she was four years old. She
also lived in Clinton, Iowa, before moving to Des Moines in 1958. She graduated from high school after her
junior year to attend Drake University in Des Moines. After receiving her B.A., Conlin earned a law degree from Drake
University in 1966 and a master's degree in public administration in 1979, also
from Drake. In 1964 Roxanne Barton
married James Conlin, a real estate broker.
They had four children, two of whom came to the Conlin family when they
were teenagers.
Conlin worked as a lawyer in private
practice from 1966 to 1967 before serving as Deputy Industrial Commissioner in
Des Moines from 1967 to 1968. Conlin
was an Assistant Attorney General for the state of Iowa for seven years
(1969-1976), heading the Civil Rights Section of the Iowa Department of
Justice. She also did anti-trust work
in this position and handled several cases involving willful misconduct by
public officials.
Conlin was appointed United States
Attorney for the Southern District of Iowa by President Jimmy Carter in
1977. In this position, she
concentrated her efforts on the prosecution of white collar crime, fraud
against the federal government and narcotics trafficking. She and her staff had great success in each
of these areas. She was honored for her
work with a special commendation from the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI)
and received the United States Secret Service's Award for Outstanding
Assistance. During her term, she was
president of the Federal Executive Council and served on the Attorney General's
Advisory Committee of United States Attorneys.
Conlin also taught law at the University of Iowa from 1977 to 1979.
Conlin has been active in Democratic
politics since 1960, serving in various positions including national
committeewoman of the Iowa Young Democrats, vice-president of the Iowa
Delegation to the Democratic Mid-term Convention in 1974 and on many committees
for the state party convention. From
1981 to 1982, Roxanne Conlin ran unsuccessfully for governor of Iowa as the
Democratic Party's candidate. Conlin
also campaigned for Jimmy Carter, Tom Harkin, and Walter Mondale, and she
served as the National Policy Chair for John Glenn’s unsuccessful bid for the
1984 Democratic presidential nomination.
Since the
mid-1980s Roxanne Conlin has been involved in the Association of Trial Lawyers
of America (ATLA), a professional litigators' organization with 65,000 members
committed to "fostering a safer, more just society." After serving on several ATLA committees,
Conlin was elected parliamentarian (1988-1989), secretary (1989-1990),
vice-president (1990-1991), president-elect (1991-1992) and ultimately,
president (1992-1993), ATLA's first female president.
Conlin's community activism has
included service on the boards of directors of the Iowa Shares Program, the
River Hill Day Care Center in Des Moines, and the Polk County Rape and Sexual
Assault Care Center. She also founded
and was the first chair of the Iowa Women's Political Caucus.
Roxanne Conlin has received numerous
awards and honors, including being named to the Iowa Women's Hall of Fame in
1981. McCall's Magazine called her "one of the forty-four women in
America qualified for a cabinet position." In 1974, she received the Iowa Civil Liberties Union's award for
Outstanding Service to Civil Liberties and was named the Outstanding Young
Woman of Iowa. She is listed in Who's Who in America.
Conlin was a tireless campaigner and
a relentless advocate for her beliefs; she made countless speeches and
participated in an unending stream of conferences. Her output was truly remarkable, and her papers testify to her
ability to initiate, manage, and lead political change within the democratic
process. Conlin’s vibrancy is palpable
in this extraordinary collection that documents her career.
Scope and Content Note
The Roxanne Barton Conlin papers
date from 1969 to 1996 and
measure 45 linear feet. The papers are
arranged in four series: Personal,
Professional, Political and Photographs.
The Personal series (1970-1996 and undated) includes biographical
information, a few letters to Conlin from her father and her daughter Jacalyn
Conlin, and material relating to Conlin’s civic activism.
The Professional series (1969-1995 and undated) forms the second
largest series. The series is further
subdivided by subseries: Association of
Trial Lawyers of America (ATLA), Appointment calendars, Assistant State
Attorney General of Iowa, Association of Trial Lawyers of Iowa (ATLI),
Correspondence, Law practice, Newspaper clippings, Speeches, and United States
Attorney for the Southern District of Iowa.
Throughout the series, however, certain themes predominate; among them
are sexual discrimination and harassment, women's rights, product liability,
and civil rights.
The Association of Trial Lawyers
of America subseries (1985-1993) shows how Conlin campaigned for elective
offices within ATLA and how she rose through the ranks to become the
organization’s first female president.
What she accomplished while president is illustrated through the
interviews and profiles, the letters of appreciation she received, and the
"President's Page" columns she wrote for ATLA's Trial magazine. Some
audiocassettes and videocassettes of talks Conlin gave and courses she offered
on ATLA’s behalf are also included.
Conlin's work as an Assistant State
Attorney General is documented in the Assistant State Attorney General of
Iowa subseries (1969-1977). This subseries illustrates Conlin's efforts on
behalf of women, minorities and the disabled.
Included are several court briefs Conlin wrote as the attorney for the
Iowa Civil Rights Commission.
The Association of Trial Lawyers
of Iowa (1973-1977) is a small subseries containing correspondence and some
legislation the association wished to have enacted by the Iowa State
Legislature.
The Correspondence subseries
(1969-1990) is a chronological file of Conlin's professional communication
between 1969 and 1990.
Conlin's Law practice (1976-1995) materials
are extensive. There are many audiocassettes
and videocassettes of news segments, talks, interviews, debates and panel
discussions on specific legal issues and Conlin's work as a lawyer. (For
Conlin's views on sexual harassment and on the Anita Hill testimony in the
Clarence Thomas Supreme Court confirmation hearings see Box 3, Professional,
ATLA, Presidency, "President's Page" (Trial), letter to Julie Shoop dated March 22, 1993).
Also of note are the newspaper
clippings which describe the 6.3 million-dollar sexual harassment and discrimination
lawsuit Conlin won on Linda Monohan's behalf (Box 23; Professional; Law
practice; Issues; Sexual harassment).
The Newspaper clippings
subseries (1970-1990) includes articles about Conlin’s fight as U.S. Attorney
General against Star Coal Co. to end environmentally destructive strip mining
where reclamation is not possible and a court case on Medicare and Medicaid
fraud (see Box 28, Professional, Newspaper clippings, January 1980).
The Speeches (1971-1994) are
extensive and are arranged by the following topics: civil justice system, commencement addresses, courtroom
procedures and strategies, leadership, rape, sexual harassment and
discrimination, women, and miscellaneous.
The United States Attorney for
the Southern District of Iowa subseries (1977-1981) documents Conlin's work
in this appointed position. Included
are minutes from Conlin's service on the Attorney General's Advisory Board and
notes from various conferences she attended.
The Political series (1970-1990) comprises the bulk of the
collection. Conlin's involvement in
women's political causes, her service on state commissions and task forces, her
campaign for Governor of Iowa and her political affiliations are reflected in
this series. The series is subdivided
into nine subseries: Civil rights,
Democratic Party, Equal Rights Amendment (ERA), Gubernatorial election,
International Women's Year, Iowa Commission on the Status of Women, Iowa Higher
Education Task Force, National Organization for Women (NOW) and Women's
political caucuses.
The Civil rights subseries
contains more papers related to Conlin's work with the Iowa Civil Rights
Commission. Of interest is an opinion
written by Conlin on the commission's jurisdiction in police matters concerning
public accommodation.
The Democratic Party
subseries (1974-1990) contains documents from Conlin's participation at the
Conference on Party Organization and Policy, a mini-convention held in 1974 in
Kansas City, Missouri. The purpose of
the conference was to draft a national charter for the Democratic Party, a
first for major political parties in the United States (see box 45, Political,
Democratic Party, Conference on Party Organization and Policy, letter to Conlin
from Morris K. Udall, September 17, 1974).
The Equal Rights Amendment
subseries (1972-1980) contains the transcript of a debate between Conlin and
Phyllis Schlafly, the national head of Stop ERA, which aired on WHO talk radio
in Des Moines in March 1978. Also
included are three drafts of an article written by Conlin for the Winter 1975 Drake Law Review "Equal Protection
vs. Equal Rights Amendment--Where Are We Now?"
The Gubernatorial election subseries
(1978-1982) chronicles Conlin's unsuccessful bid as the democratic candidate
for Governor of Iowa in 1982. The subseries
is sorted into the following categories:
fundraising records, campaign documents, audiovisual material, issues,
correspondence and donation forms.
The International Women's Year
subseries (1975-1977) concerns Conlin's work on the coordinating committee in
Iowa and her compilation of papers on the legal status of homemakers in all
fifty states and the District of Columbia.
The Iowa Commission on the Status
of Women subseries (1970-1981) contains annual reports and minutes of the
commission during Conlin's tenure and studies of sex discrimination against
women in employment, education and health insurance.
The Iowa Higher Education Task
Force subseries (1973-1989) contains the administrative records of the task
force and the testimony presented to the task force at six hearings held around
the state in 1988.
The National Organization for
Women (NOW) subseries (1972-1989) covers administrative records of Conlin's
involvement on national NOW committees as well as position papers and materials
connected to women's rights.
The Women's political caucuses
subseries (1973-1986) is divided into two categories: Iowa Women's Political Caucus and National Women's Political
Caucus. Included are papers
illustrating Conlin's role as an activist for women's political causes and
social problems. (A note from Ruth
Bader Ginsburg dated December, 1974 regarding an article Conlin wrote that she
had asked Ginsburg to review is in box 105, Political, Women’s Political Caucuses,
IWPC, Articles and letters first draft, undated, folder 1.)
The John Glenn Presidential
Campaign subseries (1983-1984) covers Conlin’s work as the chair of Glenn’s
National Policy Council in his unsuccessful bid for the 1984 Democratic
presidential nomination. It also
contains extensive press clippings related to the campaign, Glenn’s position
papers, and the text of many of his speeches.
See also Box 45 for papers related to Conlin’s work on the Glenn
campaign.
The Photographs (1969-1982 and undated) are mostly professional
publicity shots (including gubernatorial contact proofs) and snapshots of
Conlin at conferences or in groups. The
photographs have been removed from the various accessions to be filed together.
