Paintings by her artist mother illustrate Fee’s early life as a world-travelling missionary’s daughter and correspondence reveals her professional fortitude and lifelong commitment to advocating for and promoting the stories of marginalized people and groups. By bringing together selected items from her personal papers, this talk will demonstrate what an archive can reveal about a person and their character in addition to giving insight into Elizabeth Fee’s life and work.
