Dear Natasha,
Thanks for the enquiry.
Given Barbara's prolific output we unfortunately do not have a full/complete collection of her writing. However we have some selected books and materials in our printed collections as well as some of her papers, located in our archive holdings which were donated by the author herself. You and your mother would be welcome to visit us to view these.

For more information about our holdings please view the 'Search the collections' pages (http://www.londonmet.ac.uk/thewomenslibrary/searchthecollections/) and for more information about visiting please refer to our 'Visit us' page (http://www.londonmet.ac.uk/thewomenslibrary/about/visit.cfm)

Many thanks
Inderbir Bhullar
