Johnson, Ruth Ashton. Paper. 1971-1994. 10 linear inches. The papers document Johnson's interest and professional involvement in promoting equal opportunity for female athletes within schools at all levels.

University of Iowa Women's Athletics. Records. 1979-2011. Contains budget and record keeping materials from 1979-2001, women's basketball materials from 1985-2005, and task force records from the 2000 merger of the men's and women's athletic departments. Varsity sports at the University of Iowa began in the 1870s, although organized varsity sports for women were not offered until after the passage of Title IX legislation in 1973 that required equal funding for men's and women's sport teams at institutions receiving federal funds. Already a leading member of the Association for Intercollegiate Athletics for Women (AIAW), the University hired Department of Physical Education for Women faculty member Christine Grant as its inaugural women's athletics director. During Grant's tenure, Iowa added twelve National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) championship sports, and teams from those programs won a combined twenty-seven Big Ten titles. Anticipating Grant's retirement, the University convened a task force in 2000 to evaluate gender equity in the school's athletic departments. After deliberation, the task force recommended the men's and women's athletic departments be merged under one director following Grant's retirement.
