Making herstory (again) even as she cleans out her apartment, Betsy Wade donated her important papers to the National Women and Media Collection at the University of Missouri.
"Three linear feet!" Betsy declared as she signed the papers that gave the papers to the Collections. "That's what you've got in your attics, ladies!"
The donation was accepted by Jenny Lukomski, the assistant director for collections at the Western Historical Manuscript Collection, which will house Betsy's papers along with those of other important women in journalism, including Tad Bartimus, Sylvia Porter and Suzanne Levine.
Jenny has a display set up near the registration desk, and you can learn more about why you should follow Betsy's lead (again!) at a session Saturday afternoon.
