An <a href=\"http:\/\/www.legacy.com\/obituaries\/saltlaketribune\/obituary.aspx?n=priscilla-mayden-maltby&amp;pid=150908256\">obituary for Ms. Mayden<\/a> was recently posted on the Salt Lake Tribune website.<\/p>\n<p>As <a href=\"http:\/\/library.med.utah.edu\/blog\/eccles\/2011\/05\/09\/priscilla-mayden-visionary-librarian\/\">noted in an earlier blog post<\/a>, Priscilla Mayden was the first director of the Spencer S. Eccles Health Sciences Library here at the University of Utah. When the current library staff learned of Ms. Mayden&#8217;s passing, Joan Stoddart, our Deputy Director, shared some interesting tidbits she&#8217;d gleaned from interviews with Ms. Mayden as part of the <a href=\"http:\/\/content.lib.utah.edu\/u?\/UU_EAD,3349\">Everett L. Cooley Oral History Project<\/a>. One amusing story was about Ms. Mayden&#8217;s time working as a &#8220;Rosie the Riveter.&#8221; Apparently, she was the best in the factory at the assembly work she did, but because of the era in which she lived, they would not give her a promotion to supervisor with accompanying pay raise. Eventually, she got fed up with having men promoted to supervise her that couldn&#8217;t do the job as well. So she marched into the office and demanded a promotion and a raise, and got it! Unfortunately, the men at that time didn&#8217;t appreciate having a woman as a supervisor, and gave her no end of grief.<\/p>\n<p>Have you got a favorite story about Priscilla (Maltby) Mayden you&#8217;d like to share?
