What an inspirational story, thanks for sharing BrownTggrr.

There are deffinately things that us young people can learn from those who have seen tougher times than those of today, and made their own contributions to the world amidst change and hardship. Especially in the case of this story, hardwork is definitely a lesson. For those that do not know much about the Disney company pre 1970, it was EXTREMELY hard for a female to be taken seriously and given any job other than as an inker. The fact that she made a name for herself within the Disney company, speaks volumes to me personally as an intense follower of all things Disney. Just, what a marvelous story and seemingly fiitting tribute.

Just, as a note to those on here younger than me: there are so many opportunities for us all to learn new things and become better well rounded people in this life, and we only get one chance. When stuff is posted on here, take the time to read it, understand it, criticize what you read for what it is worth and try to take something away from it. There are just so many great things that you can learn if you just read!

Cory, can you point me in the direction of some stories that point out the hardships of a woman working for the Disney corporation pre-1970?

Yeah sure, no problem. There are some very good videos out there too about the inside of the Walt Disney Company, I will send those your way!

I apologize for double-posting, however, I deemed this post to be worthy of a standalone reference from the post before it. As Ronny requested here is a documentary with some references to what I mentioned previously

There is an excellent documentary out about Walt Disney's life and the history of the Disney company. The Documentary was made in 1995 and produced by Channel four across the pond. The title of the documentary is Secret Lives Walt Disney. The documentary explores the darker side of Disney's persona. The documentary includes artists Bill Melendez, David Hilberman, Mary Eastman, Bill Hurtz, Marie Beardsley, and Bill Littlejohn, screenwriter Joan Scott, and biographers Marc Eliot, Richard Schickel, and Bob Thomas.

I encourage all who watches this to please keep an open mind to the times while they do, but also encourage you to take a look at some things you may have not known prior to watching the Documentary. It is approximately an hour long, but is WELL worth the watch! The parts of the Documentary are in sequential order!

Thank you Joyce Carlson – I enjoyed your work, your passion showed.

Those documentaries are very eye opening for some one who thinks of Walt as an amicable and friendly person. I`ve been reading the Walt Disney biography by Neal Gabler, and he was a very demanding person to work for, and not very socialable outside of his work.

I definitely recommend people take the time to watch that documentary. I certainly found it very interesting.
