Abstract:

Before the women's lib movement began in earnest, ladies applied themselves to typically male dominated jobs. Examples of these enterprising women could be seen in Asheville not only doing male jobs but also running businesses. Mrs. Charles Garren drove truck for the Southeastern Railway Express Company. Mrs. O. A. Shillinglaw ran a service station. Mrs. C. M. Gaddy worked for the Forestry Service and was stationed on Spivey Mountain. Women in these various roles surprised an older generation of women accustomed only to traditional female roles.
