New worst word ever: This time from the 1950's.

As if show business in general and television in particular wasn't hard enough on women. there is an  obituary today in the NY Times about  the first woman  ever to direct a TV show. She looks like a lovely woman. She had a nice long life. But wasn't it punishment enough for Frances that it had to come to an end? Did she really need to be further punished by having the word FEMCEE disinterred, even momentarily,  in her obituary?  SHEESH!

FRANCES BUSS. PIONEER OF EARLY TELEVISION, DIES AT 92.
