Women in Printing -- Female Perspectives

Kinney started out working in the accounting office for a printer in 1972. She recounts that her employer encouraged her to take classes and learn about the business. This would allow Kinney to take on additional responsibilities and move up in the company.

But the road to the executive level is never easy. Kinney reports that the only route to becoming a success in the printing industry is by paying your dues. "By putting in 12-hour days, donating a lot of time to the industry and working twice as hard" is how Kinney has succeeded. Still, being a woman in the graphic arts industry is a challenge.
