Keller asked in 1910 whether the Executive
Committee had dismissed her
because she was a woman: “Is it possible there
is not a man on that committee big or broad
enough to permit a woman to be the head of a
department, however small that department
might be? Alternatively, is it just ‘friends’ that
were retained?”

Miss Owen is about 5 feet 5 1/2 inches tall, weighs around 130 pounds and wears her hair high in a pompadour and flowing tresses to the back of her neck. She wore a tight-fitting sweater, which left little for my, or in fact, any one else’s imagination. She wore sport shoes, and a short suit skirt which did reach almost to her knees. To top it all, except when she wrote on the black board, she sat on the corner of the desk, facing the class with her legs crossed.” 1945 Chamber of Commerce Report sent to Herman Wells.
