Pauline Frederick, a trailblazing journalist, spoke at De Anza College about her career from interviewing diplomat wives to covering the UN. She described widespread gender barriers, being rebuffed by CBS and NBC, and the persistence of male dominance in international reporting, noting the gap between UN rhetoric and practice.

UN women leadership gaps cited in 1973 debate
Miss Frederick notes U.N. underrepresentation of women in permanent missions and staff. Only three governments appoint women to missions, six percent of diplomats are female, and many women face discrimination in promotions and benefits. She cites Golda Meir and Indira Gandhi as wartime leaders and urges women to apply their skills to international relations. Concert group plans Freemont drive and season ahead with three remaining performances at Mission San Jose High School gym.
