The Black Hawk County Women's Political Caucus (BHCWPC), an affiliate of the Iowa Women's Political Caucus, was organized in 1973 by Margaret "Peg" Anderson, Mary O'Halloran, and other women. Many of the members of the BHCWPC were also members of the League of Women Voters of Black Hawk County and the National Organization for Women. The BHCWPC met once per month, and meetings usually included a presentation about an issue pertinent to women's political, social, or economic rights. Members of the BHCWPC supported a number of feminist initiatives: they promoted economic equality for women, monitored the implementation of Title IX in public schools, supported the Equal Rights Amendment, and educated women about their right to retain their maiden names.
