April 7, 1979, Neenah-Menasha Daily Northwestern
Interesting look back to some of Menasha's history as a result of finding these gowns up in the attic. Mrs. Banta was indeed a power behind the scenes for her husband George, the same way Mrs. Woodrow Wilson later stepped in, although more covertly, after the President's stroke to manage his office and how Eleanor Roosevelt became the eyes and ears for a handicapped Franklin Roosevelt who wasn't as mobile as he desired. They were strong women, ones who didn't always get the kudos they deserved.
