The subseries also contains materials related to health, cancer, and the right-to-die movement feminism, women's liberation, and the Women's International Resource Exchange (WIRE) and the political turmoil of Paris 1968. Especially noteworthy are notes and other papers related to Ortiz's work as associate editor of the Monthly Review, though these provide only a limited glimpse into her decades of service there. The General Files Subseries consists mainly of articles, notes, and periodicals from the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s.
The subseries is organized alphabetically by country. The most extensive segments of the subseries deal with women's liberation in the 1970s and 1980s in Chile, Cuba, the Dominican Republic, El Salvador, Eritrea, Guatemala, Mexico, Nicaragua, and the United States. The grassroots organizational publications (many of them ephemeral in nature), news clippings, and articles found in the international women's liberation subseries address such issues as women's economic status, their roles in the family, violence against women, reproductive rights and sexuality, and indigenous women's movements. In the International Women's Liberation Subseries, Ortiz maintained extensive files on the status of women and women's liberation campaigns around the world.

The Subject Files Series has been separated into two main subseries: one devoted to international women's liberation and one for general topics. Two folders contain photocopies of inscriptions from many authors found inside the volumes in her personal library (now in the Perkins Library stacks of Duke University). Writings folders include notes, short articles, and speeches written by Ortiz as well as a collection of poetry by Grace Goldin, a friend of Ortiz. Other highlights of the series include Ortiz's scrapbook from her tour of China, which is further documented by audio tapes and photographs in the collection. The Personal Files Series focuses on Ortiz's formal education, particularly her coursework at New York University. Most materials in other series, however, are open for research. The Correspondence Series is almost completely CLOSED to research see the inventory below for more information.
Other topics include Vietnam War protests students' movements, particularly Paris, 1968 indigenous women's movements in Latin America AIDS activism sexual health adoption rights gay and lesbian parenting and women's issues such as reproductive rights, economic status, and violence against women. Many of these materials focus on politics and government in Cuba, China, and France. The materials in both women's files are especially rich in the history of the international women's liberation movement and other revolutionary movements in Europe, Latin America, and other countries during the sixties, seventies, and eighties. Other personal documents and subject files concern the activities of Bobbye's daughter, Viki Ortiz, an activist in her own right. The collection documents the personal life and career of an international feminist, Marxist activist, and mother, who also served as editor of the magazine Monthly Review and was the founder of the organization WIRE (Women's International Resource Exchange).
