Title:
Rita Heller interviewed by Harry Sayen during the "Sayen at Scanticon" live radio program, 1986
Description:
Harry Sayen interviews Rita Heller, creator the documentary film "Women of Summer, about the Bryn Mawr College Summer School for Women Workers in Industry during the live radio program Sayen at Scanticon." Heller discusses her work on the film and provides some history about the Summer School, founded on the history of settlement houses and progressive social reform. Heller also discusses her graduate work at Rutgers University in the labor archives, which originally sparked her interested in the Summer School. As a Bryn Mawr alumna, Heller says she didn’t have any knowledge of the Summer School while at Bryn Mawr and when she happened upon the archives it was like finding a buried treasure. Near the end of the interview Heller talks about the reasons for the end of such a successful program and highlights the incorporation of labor unions into the New Deal as well as a lack of money and novelty that ultimately ended the successful and inspiring program.
