Betsy Ann Plank : the making of a public relations icon / Karla K. Gower.

"Betsy Ann Plank was a child of the Depression, came of age during World War II, and began a career during the 1950s when women were expected to stay at home. Yet, she still became the first woman president of several trade associations, the first to head a department at Illinois Bell, and the first to receive many awards and honors previously given to men. Plank, with her strong moral compass, high standards, and positive vision for the future, offers a symbol of hope to future generations navigating tumultuous times"-- Provided by publisher.
