Mrs. Magavero: A History Based on the Life of an Academic Librarian

by Jane Brodsky Fitzpatrick

Mrs. Magavero: A History Based on the Life of an Academic Librarian Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Synopsis:

Filomena Magavero was an academic librarian at SUNY Maritime College in the Bronx, New York, where she contended with a level of sexism that defined professional life for female librarians in the mid 20th century. This book is the story of an everywoman of academic libraries and a library history from the perspective of a woman in her position at the time. Included are a very useful literature review on women in mid-20th century librarianship and an oral history interview with Mrs. Magavero.
