As part of the WFPP’s Frederica Sagor Maas Fellowship, current fellow Drew Björkstén published a profile on June Mathis in the Herald Democrat, the local paper in Mathis’ hometown of Leadville, Colorado. The article was published both in print and on the website under the headline, “The Leadville Native Who Became the Most Powerful Woman in Hollywood.” Several more profiles, on pioneers such as Kathlyn Williams and Marion E. Wong, are forthcoming.
