Description
Photograph article dated August 24, 1962 partially reads, "A Burbank woman sales representative in the aerospace industry thinks that far too few members of her sex are entering technical fields. "They're scared of breaking into a so-called man's field," said Mrs. Eva MacQuarrie, an employee of Hydrodyne division of the Donaldson Company Inc., North Hollywood. Mrs. MacQuarrie, a grandmother of five, sells seals, filters and machined bellows which are used in some of our nation's most modern aircraft. Her clients are engineers from firms such as Rocketdyne, Atomics International and North American Aviation."
