Ms. MacPherson said Victoria and “Tennie” overcame tough childhoods and a troubled family to become pioneers on Wall Street, members of the women’s suffrage movement, and players in the world of journalism. Ms. MacPherson also spoke about her career as a journalist and the changing rights for women in America, from not being allowed to cover sporting events to the fight for equal pay. She also talked about the tragedies she has faced in her life, including the death of two husbands and her daughter.
