Patricia Riddle Wilcox was twenty years ahead of her era. Her father told her at the age of eighteen that she did not have to do traditional women’s work. She could do anything she wanted to do. This was in the late 1950s. She chose to get married and have babies. Rude awakening was presented to her—she would have to go out to work in order to maintain a lifestyle that was acceptable to her. Her career evolved into positions in an industry where no woman during that time had ventured into—engraving and printing. She paved the way in that field for many young women.
