In this clip is a reference to a document showing President Nixon’s reluctance to appoint women to significant governmental positions. This was something that Vera Glaser (women’s page and political journalist) and government employee Catherine East worked on.

I have gone through the most recent batch of information made available from the Nixon Library in the hopes of finding references to East or Glaser. I did not finding anything about those women. (In another women’s page reference, until recently, the Nixon Library was run by the son of Detroit and Phoenix women’s page editor Jean Taylor.)

I did find a reference to an article about Miami Herald’s women’s page journalist Roberta Applegate: “650 Women Turn Out in Furs, Finery for Snug Brunch With Mrs. Nixon.” I published an article about Roberta a few years ago and nominated her for induction into the Michigan Journalism Hall of Fame.

I am going to contact the Nixon Library about finding more references on East and Glaser.
