Author Dawn Langley
Simmons had one of the first sex-reassignment surgeries in the United States.

Rutherford. After surgery she assumed the identity Dawn Pepita Langley Hall,
then became Dawn Langley Simmons after her marriage to John Paul
Simmons.

Langley Simmons. The collection houses extensive files of correspondence
dating from the 1950s to 2000, with topics ranging from Simmons' formative
years in Great Britain, her relationship with her mother, Marjorie Hall Copper,
literary circles in Great Britain, later personal events such as her wedding,
and Simmons' development as a writer. Significant correspondents or individuals
mentioned in letters include Margaret Rutherford, Isabel Whitney, Vita Sackville-West, Sir Harold Nicolson, Nigel Nicolson, Robert Holmes, and Edwin Peacock. The collection also includes
writings by Simmons in the form of typescripts and diaries; printed material and clippings, including articles and reviews by and about Simmons; legal and financial papers; an extensive collection of scrapbooks;

Collection Overview
The Dawn Langley Simmons Papers span the years 1848-2001, with the
bulk of the papers being dated between 1969 and 2001. The collection consists
of material collected and created by Simmons when she was using the names
Gordon Langley Hall, Dawn Pepita Langley Hall, and Dawn Langley Simmons.
Extensive files of correspondence dating from the 1950s to 2000 document
Simmons' formative years in Kent and Sussex, Great Britain; her relationship
with her mother, Marjorie Hall Copper; literary circles in Great Britain; later
personal events such as her wedding and purchase of her house in Charleston,
S.C.; and Simmons' development as a writer. Significant correspondents or
individuals mentioned in letters and other materials include Robert Holmes, Sir
Harold Nicolson, Nigel Nicolson, Edwin Peacock, Margaret Rutherford, Vita
Sackville-West, and Isabel Whitney. The collection also includes writings by
Simmons in the form of typescripts and diaries; printed material and clippings including articles by and
about Simmons; legal and financial papers; an extensive collection of scrapbooks; photographs; audiovisual materials;
and other material relating to Simmons' personal life and career as a writer.
The writings in the collection are primarily typescripts but include a few
proofs and printers' galleys. Many of the pieces are unpublished. The
publication process of the 1995 autobiography
Dawn: A Charleston Legend is extensively
documented by a series of edited manuscripts and proofs as well as
correspondence with the publisher. Collection materials also document to some extent sex change treatments begun in 1967 at the Gender Identity Clinic of Johns
Hopkins University in Baltimore; Simmons' 1969 interracial marriage to John-Paul
Simmons; and the disruption in their lives in part brought on by the negative
reaction of Charleston society to their marriage.
The Audiovisual Materials Series includes
video and audio tape recordings and photographs. The recordings include
professionally-produced audio broadcasts discussing Simmons'
transgender life and her interracial marriage - and an amateur audio tape of
Simmons' wedding. Several hundred photographs document Isabel Whitney and her family as
well as Simmons' family and friends. Original recordings are closed to
research; listening copies are available for most items. Otherwise, staff must arrange for use copies to be made.
The largest series in the collection, the Correspondence Series consists chiefly of incoming correspondence, spanning five decades, from family and friends, from publishers concerning Simmons' writing, and from other individuals. There is some correspondence written by Simmons scattered throughout.
Brief but detailed entries in the eleven volumes housed in the Diaries Series describe Simmons' writing career, emotional states, and family matters during the time periods from 1975-1976 and 1987-1989, ending with the years 1990-1994.
The Legal and Financial Papers Series
chiefly consist of documents concerning Simmons' father, Jack Copper, Isabel
Whitney and her family and estate, Simmons and her husband, and Simmons'
inheritance from Whitney.
The Printed Materials Series houses clippings, travel
guides, flyers, and other items that document Simmons' interests, travels, and
hobbies; includes early journalistic writings (chiefly columns), and a hardcover copy of her children's book, the Great White Owl of Sissinghurst.
The twenty-odd albums found in the Scrapbooks
Series feature memorabilia, clippings, photos, and correspondence
assembled by Simmons concerning her writing career, family, hobbies, and
interest in celebrities and royalty.
The small Volumes Series consists of two manuscripts collected by Simmons: a nineteenth-century diary
written by Sarah Combs, a transcript of this diary, and an early twentieth
century travelogue written by a member of the Whitney family.
The Writings Series primarily consists of
typescripts of works by Simmons. There are a few written pieces by
other authors. Other writings by Simmons can be found in the Correspondence Series (in the topical correspondence folders for the 1950s and 1960s and scattered throughout in other files); in the
William Carter Spann Series, which contains research
Simmons conducted in preparation for a book on President Carter's nephew; in the Diaries Series; and in the Printed Materials Series, which contains early columns and later writings by Simmons.
Oversize Materials housed separately from
the main collection include posters, cover proofs, newspaper and magazine
clippings, and a few diplomas and awards.
Acquired as part of the Sallie Bingham Center for Women's History and Culture.

Other folders in the topical correspondence sub-grouping house early correspondence and clippings from Isabel Whitney and Gordon Hall to Emmeline Paige, editor at the Villager, and materials that Hall gathered on Helen Invicta Hall, Natasha Simmons, and Isabel Whitney.
