Vivian Castleberry

Vivian Castleberry was a trailblazing women’s page editor in Dallas who is also known for her work in the peace movement and the women’s liberation movement. She was included in the Washington Press Club Foundation oral history project “Women in Journalism.”

She is a member of the Texas Women’s Hall of Fame.

My article about Vivian appears in the Spring 2007 issue of Southwestern Historical Quarterly.

I am currently working on a book about Vivian. I recently spent a few days with Vivian in Dallas conducting research. It was a joy to meet Curtis Castleberry who I heard heard such wonderful things about.
