Feminism and Vivian Castleberry

Of all the women's editors I have studied, the most outspoken feminist was Vivian Castleberry. She said recently: “I entered the feminist movement before there was a feminist movement. I pushed, prodded and prevailed in moving what was a traditional women’s section to become a bellwether for the reporting of issues significant to women and the family – abortion, child abuse, custody, women and legal concerns, family and spousal abuse, violence and on and on.”
