Sandra McMullin Bennett’s papers are divided into five series, according to her work with various organizations: Business and Professional Women/ USA; Tennessee Economic Council on Women; Tennessee Women’s Political Caucus; Nashville Women’s Political Caucus; and Personal Papers.

Her papers include reports, summaries of legislative actions, economic summits and political workshop materials, campaign materials, and newspaper clippings. Also included is an official Proclamation of the State of Tennessee, proclaiming August 26, 2010, “Women’s Equality Day.”

Ms. Bennett was very concerned with political issues affecting the welfare of women and children in Tennessee. She was a tireless leader through the Tennessee Economic Council on Women, the Tennessee Women’s Political and the Nashville Women’s Political Caucus in encouraging, supporting, and lobbying for legislation favorable to women and children, such as equal pay and child support. Her papers reflect the enormous amount of volunteer effort expended by women such as Ms. Bennett. They do not hold elective office but nevertheless accomplish much in the political arena.
