The story of Ginger Timberlake of Belfair
may well inspire those who are interested in the
Women's Liberation Movement.
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.

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

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."
