Acknowledgments One of the particular gifts of this project has been the friendships I have made in the course of the research. Anna Rochester and Grace Hutchins have led me into circles of especially kind and interesting people. To all of the people whom I have met during this process: you have enriched my life immeasurably, and I am most grateful. Research support for this book has been provided by the Episcopal Women’s History Project and by Sonoma State University; the California State University Emeritus and Retired Faculty Association has granted funding to assist in production and promotion. I am thankful to Congresswoman Lynn Woolsey and her staff for assistance in obtaining the FBI files of Grace Hutchins and Anna Rochester through the Freedom of Information Act. I owe a great debt to the interlibrary loan staff at Sonoma State University, who made heroic efforts to locate and borrow rare books, pamphlets, and articles for me. I am also grateful to numerous other libraries and archival collections for their provision of pertinent materials: Special Collections and University Archives of the University of Oregon Libraries ; State Historical Society of Wisconsin Special Collections; Archives of the Episcopal Church; Tamiment Library at New York University; Columbia University Rare Books and Manuscripts Collection; Diocese of New York Archives; Union Theological Seminary Manuscripts Room; Sophia Smith Collection at Smith College; University of Vermont Special Collections; Friends Historical Collection at Swarthmore College; Swarthmore College Peace Collection; Archives of the Society of the Companions of the Holy Cross; Lesbian Herstory Archives; Jean and Charles Schulz Library at Sonoma State University; Southern California Library for Social Studies and Research; Syracuse University Library; Schlesinger Library at Radcliffe College; Libraries of the University of California, Berkeley ; Langson Library at the University of California, Irvine; Bryn Mawr College Library; Multnomah County Library; Portland State University Library; Dorset Historical Society; Reed College Library; Aubrey R.
