520 In August 1972, Newsweek proclaimed that "the person in
Washington who has done the most for the women's movement
may be Richard Nixon." Today, opinions of the Nixon
administration are strongly colored by foreign policy
successes and the Watergate debacle. Its accomplishments
in advancing the role of women in government have been
largely forgotten. Based on the "A Few Good Women" oral
history project at the Penn State University Libraries, A
Matter of Simple Justice illuminates the administration's
groundbreaking efforts to expand the role of women-and the
long-term consequences for women in the American
workplace. At the forefront of these efforts was Barbara
Hackman Franklin, a staff assistant to the president who
was hired to recruit more women into the upper levels of
the federal government. Franklin, at the direction of
President Nixon, White House counselor Robert Finch, and
personnel director Fred Malek, became the administration's
de facto spokesperson on women's issues. She helped bring
more than one hundred women into executive positions in
the government and created a talent bank of more than a
thousand names of qualified women. The Nixon
administration expanded the numbers of women on
presidential commissions and boards, changed civil service
rules to open thousands more federal jobs to women, and
expanded enforcement of antidiscrimination laws to include
gender discrimination. Also during this time, Congress
approved the Equal Rights Amendment and Nixon signed Title
IX of the Education Amendments into law. The story of
Barbara Hackman Franklin and those "few good women" shows
how the advances that were made in this time by a
Republican presidency both reflected the national debate
over the role of women in society and took major steps
toward equality in the workplace for women.
