Memories
Here’s an excerpt from Lucile Schuck Longview's 1975 description of the first U.N. gender justice conference when she attended the International Association of Liberal Religious Women's conference that same year. Evidently she attended the IALRW conference right after the U.N. conference. This bit of historical context about the U.N. conferences fills in information about such references in Jane Flanagan’s article. I have added comparisons between the first U.N. conference that Lucile reports on and the last one in Beijing.
Lucile Schuck Longview, 99, died peacefully on April 20, 2010 in Bellingham, WA, surrounded by the love of her family and friends. She was born Blanche Lucile Kitson, the only child of Harry E. and Macie B. (Miller) Kitson, on March 28, 1911 on a farm near Columbia City, IN. One of the first women from her community to attend college, she graduated from Indiana University with honors in 1933 and taught high school and coached women's sports in Elkhart, IN.
