Mrs. Magavero

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.Fitzpatrick, Jane Brodsky is the author of 'Mrs. Magavero', published 2007 under ISBN 9780977861750 and ISBN 0977861759.
