Catherine East oral history
I recently found an oral history conducted with Catherine East. Catherine was an influential behind-the-scenes government employee who helped improve the media’s coverage of women’s issues. I have gone through her papers at the Schlesinger Library in Boston twice but did not know about the oral history which I just received through ILL.
Today I am skimming through the 300+ history looking for media references.
On page 199, Catherine mentioned Vera Glaser and Marie Anderson. (Vera was a Washington wire service reporter whose stories ran in the women’s pages. Marie was the women’s page editor at the Miami Herald.) The three worked together on women’s issues – especially publicizing the work on the White House Task Force on Women. Marie ran leaked portions of the report in the Herald.
