Virginia Mae Brown Year In ICC Breaks Ground For Women
Virginia Mae Brown marks one year as the lone woman on the Interstate Commerce Commission, calling the experience very pleasurable.

She notes government delay frustrates public and commissioners alike, with mandatory rebuttal periods and appeals shaping the slow process.
