The order of documents within the file may not represent original or chronological order as the order does not reflect Greer's list of documents on this topic and date compiled before 1998. A carbon typescript partial draft of The Female Eunuch was transferred to a new file (now 2014.0044.00247) before the archive was packed in July 2014. Also, one item (notes on lined paper headed TFE with first sentence crossed out) cannot be identified from Greer's list, so may have been added at a later date.
