4. WOMEN’S PAGE COVERAGE
• Roman: “When I joined NASA, I got a lot of because the
women’s pages were so very anxious to get material. I got
a great deal of publicity, much more, I think, than I
deserved, but it was fun. As a result, of course, I had a lot
of opportunities that I probably would not have had as a
man in the same job.”
