Description
This film is of the first Women Faculty Association (WFA) banquet at Cal Poly Pomona in 1998. It includes a panel of female professors who each share memories of their time at the Cal Poly Pomona campus from the late 50s and 60s. In 1957, the first female professors were hired at Cal Poly Pomona, then an all boys school. Among those sharing stories are Prof. Dorothy Tucker McNeil who was one of the first female professors hired in 1957. Also presenting is Prof. Ruth Harmer who wrote the book "The High Cost of Dying" which was an expose in the high pressure tactics of the funeral industry that resulted in a congressional investigation. Among the memories the women share are about struggling to raise a family while working, health care for women, and working at a predominantly male campus.
