Catherine East oral history & Anderson reference
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…

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…

Catherine East article
Above is a new image of Catherine East that I found online. I am still working on an article about Catherine after going through her papers in Boston. She has some great things at the Schlesinger Library but I also also still discovering items about her in other archives. Catherine was a great behind-the-scenes person and worked regularly with women’s page editors, especially Marie Anderson and Dorothy Jurney. I hope to finish up a conference paper on Catherine after the baby arrives.

Catherine East & Vera Glaser
This letter shows the friendship between Vera Glaser and Catherine East. The newspaper series that Catherine describes ran in newspapers across the country. Vera received several fan letters after the stories appeared. Those letters and the one here can be found at the University of Wyoming. I am writing an article about Vera and Catherine’s friendship and advocacy.
