Approximately 1 1 years ago Ms. Timberlake found herself responsible for the support of two small children and an ailing mother. For five years she fought a losing financial battle, working in so-called women's employment at a salary utterly inadequate for her needs and totally incommensurate with her abilities. After unrelenting effort and agitation she became, in 1968, Pacific Northwest Bell Telephone Company's first female frameman and one year later was promoted to the top craft rating of central office equipment man. Has she rested on her laurels? Hardly. She is I THE NATIONAL ORGANIZATION FOR WOMEN may well take pride in Ginger Timberlake. an active member of the National Organization for Women, and constantly seeks to achieve for others the justice she has demanded and won for herself. "What is merely difficult for a determined woman like myself," she explains, "is often absolutely impossible for the more timid and perhaps less well-informed females who are so dreadfully exploited." Ginger Timberlake compares the household scissors with a pair of pliers. "Why can't the female hand work with one as well as the other?" she asks. "Because as a child she was given scissors and paper dolls rather than pliers, a woman may at first handle Y the implement awkwardly; but she can use tools, and use them efficiently. "Would any woman," she continues, "fear a hot soldering iron after dealing with a sizzling steam-iron, boiling and overflowing foods, 450 degree ovens?" Ginger Timberlake resents, deplores and crusades against the policy of limiting women to poorly paid jobs. She denounces the situation wherein a woman receives less pay than her male counterpart when both perform identical duties. She labors to eliminate discrimination against women. "It is not unfeminine," she declares, "for a woman to demand equal fights and equal pay." Thursday, August 22, 1974 - Shelton-Mason County Journal - Page S-9
