"Focuses on the major role of Barbara Hackman Franklin, a staff assistant to President Nixon, in expanding opportunities for women in government and in American society in general. Shows how the Nixon administration's achievements reflected the national debate over the role of women"--Provided by publisher. From Wikipedia: "Barbara Hackman Franklin (born March 19, 1940) is President and Chief Executive Officer of Barbara Franklin Enterprises, a private international consulting firm headquartered in Washington, D.C. She is an advocate for and adviser to American companies doing business in international markets, notably China, and is an expert on corporate governance, auditing, and financial reporting practices. A graduate of Pennsylvania State University and one of the first women graduates of Harvard Business School, Franklin served as United States Secretary of Commerce under George H.W. Bush, was one of the original Commissioners and first Vice Chair of the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, and was a staff assistant to President Richard Nixon. Altogether, Franklin has served five U.S. Presidents and, in 2006, received the Woodrow Wilson Award for Public Service. She is married to Wallace Barnes, retired chairman and CEO of Barnes Group, Inc.On March 8, 2012, the book A Matter of Simple Justice: The Untold Story of Barbara Hackman Franklin and A Few Good Women was launched at the National Archives and Records Administration in Washington, D.C., in a program covered by C-SPAN and moderated by Judy Woodruff of PBS NewsHour. The book is written by Lee Stout, Librarian Emeritus and former Head of Public Services and Outreach for Special Collections at the Penn State University Libraries. When he retired in 2007, Stout had served as Penn State s university archivist for 27 years. In 1994, Franklin donated her governmental papers to the Penn State University Archives. Stout was cataloging Franklin s papers when he became interested in those which detailed her service to recruit women in the Nixon Administration. He called Franklin and suggested an oral history project to preserve the memories of the men and women involved in this Presidential initiative. In 1997, the A Few Good Women oral history project was created with an Advisory Board chaired by Franklin and with a cooperative relationship with the Penn State University Libraries. Initially, the Board had a list of twelve women appointees from the Nixon administration to be interviewed, including the Honorable Margita White and the Honorable Helen Delich Bentley, former Congresswoman and Chair of the Federal Maritime Commission. The list eventually expanded to include 47 interviews, which are currently housed in the Special Collections Library at Penn State University. A Matter of Simple Justice: The Untold Story of Barbara Hackman Franklin and A Few Good Women is based on the A Few Good Women oral history project. In a two-part format, the book first focuses primarily on the historical narrative of the Nixon administration s efforts to bring women into high-level government positions, Franklin s specific efforts, and the results of this period. In the second part of the book, Stout highlights the personal stories of many of the other interviewees from this project, such as Ambassador Anne Armstrong, Senator Elizabeth Dole, Judge Cynthia Hall, and Secretary of Housing and Urban Development Carla Hills. Interviewees talk about early influences, breaking down barriers, the impact on family, the role of networking, and the particular challenge of gaining entry to the legal profession. The A Few Good Women project has received major funding from the Aetna Foundation, which has also provided grants for the A Few Good Women teaching aids project, designed by Penn State University Libraries staff. The teaching aids are designed to provide the oral histori.

Mary Elizabeth "Liz" Sutherland Carpenter (September 1, 1920 - March 20, 2010) was a writer, feminist, former reporter, media advisor, speechwriter, political humorist, and public relations expert. Carpenter was born in historic Salado in southern Bell Country, Texas. In 1936, her 24-room residence there was declared a state historic monument. In 1967, a plaque was unveiled to indicate that Carpenter had once lived there. At the age of seven, she moved with her family to Austin. Carpenter stood in the forefront of the Women's Movement when it began and never wavered from her platform. Her projects and causes ranged from supporting high tech to fighting cancer. Often called the "funniest woman in politics", she was in demand as a public speaker until her death. Excerpt from a Kirkus review posted on-line: "Liz Carpenter was a reporter as well as a friend of the Johnsons for twenty years before she joined their staff which accounts for the effortless effervescence of this account. .Mrs. Carpenter retains her undimmed admiration for both the Johnsons, even though some of Lyndon's impromptu decisions complicated their lives considerably in the generally hurried, flurried progression of campaign tours ., meeting the press ., dinners and entertainments, and of course the weddings. Mrs. Carpenter. became Mrs. Johnson's press secretary . "Miss Liz," known for her sense of humor, is funniest about herself (she's given to absent-mindedness and brought the wrong dog home from the vet, bought the wrong statue--a Jesus instead of St. Francis--as a present for her husband). Most of this does come down to incidentals along with a "Hail to the Chief" and a tribute to that First Lady Bird.".
