Virginia Whitehill & Vivian Castleberry
I was sad to see that Virginia Whitehill has died – although she had an amazing life and made a significant difference for women. This was my favorite part of her obituary:“Patty Whitehill, who lives in Florida, described her mother as a “white-gloved feminist activist” who co-founded the Dallas Women’s Coalition, the Dallas Women’s Foundation, and the Family Place, the first women’s shelter in Dallas.” I met Whitehill at an event for Dallas women’s page editor Vivian Castleberry – who I am writing a book about.
