ABSTRACT

Betty spent the next, and final, ten years of her life doing all she could to promote women in science or academe. She talked to colleagues about issues on women, was a role model by advancing in her career, created and expanded national advocacy networks, and exchanged gender equity information with others. Betty's national efforts stood out even among some of her AAUP associates, making her an ideal person to serve on other national advisory committees to advance women in science. In 1979, Betty and Jeanne Lovasich published a paper, 'Historical Trends in the Appointment and Promotion of Women Faculty', in a UC-Berkeley women's center volume. In 1983, Betty contributed to the oral history of the WFC. She was asked to talk about her involvement with the club; and the club's mission, membership, and role. Neyman had passed away on August 5, 1981; former student Mark Eudey was the executor of Neyman's estate.
