Feminism and Vivian Castleberry
Of all the women’s editors I have studied, the most outspoken feminist was Vivian Castleberry. She said recently: “I entered the feminist movement before there was a feminist movement. I pushed, prodded and prevailed in moving what was a traditional women’s section to become a bellwether for the reporting of issues significant to women and the family – abortion, child abuse, custody, women and legal concerns, family and spousal abuse, violence and on and on.”

Thanks. Vivian is a favorite of mine. I hope to finish writing a book about her by this summer.

I've enjoyed your blog, especially your interest in Vivian Castleberry. I just watched the PBS show featuring her life that was on a television tonight. I so admire Vivian! What a life she's had!
