I am going over more of the Catherine East oral history that I found a few months ago. (Catherine was an influential, behind-the-scenes feminist leader who worked with the media.) This is the reference I referred to earlier about women’s page editor Marie Anderson.

Pg 199: In response to a question about the Task Force on Women and the delay by the White House publishing it until April 1970 although it had been completed for months.

Catherine: East “It was actually published by the Miami Herald before that. The White House held up our report. Libby Koontz finally persuaded the White House to release it in time for her Women’s Bureau’s 50th anniversary conference. And it had a big impact there. Every workshop discussed it and everybody had a copy. … The report had had been published by the Miami Herald earlier. They were selling it was 25 cents a copy, their reprint of it. I think that was the final straw that led to Marie Anderson losing her position as director of the women’s page on the Miami Herald. And I don’t know yet how she got it. Vera Glaser swears she didn’t give it to her.”
