The press secretary to Lady Bird Johnson and a part of Washington's social and political life offers a reflection of her experiences from youth and career to marriage motherhood widowhood and middle age. Mary Elizabeth Sutherland Carpenter September 1 1920 - March 20 2010 was a writer feminist reporter media advisor speechwriter political humorist and public relations expert. As the first woman executive assistant to Vice President Lyndon Baines Johnson from 1961 to 1963 and then as press secretary for First Lady Lady Bird Johnson from 1963 to 1969 Carpenter was a prominent member of the Johnson White House and also a close personal friend of the Johnsons. Carpenter was an ardent supporter of the Women's Movement when it began and never wavered from her convictions. Her projects and causes ranged from supporting the Equal Rights Amendment to fighting cancer. Her lighthearted memoir of her time in the White House Ruffles and Flourishes published in 1969 was a national best-seller. Often called the "funniest woman in politics" she was in demand as a public speaker until her death. Her books include: Unplanned Parenthood Random House 1994; Getting Better All the Time Simon and Schuster 1986 as well as countless articles and forays on the lecture circuit. Start With a Laugh gives humorous advice on speech writing was published by Eakin Press and launched at the opening of the National Women's Museum: An Institute for the Future in Dallas. Her most recent book Presidential Humor Bright Sky Press 2006 was a compilation of quips and quotes from "George the First to George the Worst." Carpenter wrote an article for the Reader's Digest in the early 1980s about enjoying life having recovered from an illness closing the article with the poem "Warning" by British poet Jenny Joseph which had the opening lines "When I am an old woman I shall wear purple With a red hat which doesn't go and doesn't suit me". This led to the poem's fame spreading across the US through adoption by the greetings card industry and eventually the development of the Red Hat Society. The Liz Carpenter Award is given annually for the best scholarly book on the history of women and Texas published during the calendar year. The Award was established in 1992 by an anonymous donor who is committed to the publication of scholarly research on the history of women and Texas. The award honors Liz Carpenter a sixth-generation Texan for her commitment to the pursuit of the history of women in Texas and for a lifetime of achievements that qualify her as a maker of that history. Derived from a Publishers Weekly article: Intended primarily for female readers this highly personal reminiscence looks at the author's life before her success in Washington as Lady Bird Johnson's press aide and following her widowhood and subsequent return to Texas. There are chapters on Carpenter's ancestors important to the history of the Lone Star State but more about the challenge of living alone and the concerns of aging. She writes about the problems of finding a man interested in a woman in her 60s of avoiding loneliness in the interim of leading an active social life of preparing food and above all of fighting for women's rights.
