Eleanor Gladys Copenhaver
Eleanor Gladys Copenhaver (also known as Eleanor Copenhaver Anderson) (1896-1985) was a social worker and activist who spent over 40 years as an organizer and community service worker for the YWCA. She began as a community organizer and worked her way up to the labor division, finally becoming head of the Industrial Division from 1937 to 1947. At the end of World War II, when women were phased out of the labor market, she was briefly dismissed, but then hired back to organize support for the communities springing up around the defense industry.
