description: In 1975 Dorothy L. Campbell became a clerk at the post office in Woodstock. A Shenandoah Valley-Herald report on her hiring noted she had a high score of over 96 on the Civil Service examination needed to secure that position. According to Postmaster Charles Sheetz, she was the first female employee of that office. A native of Edinburg Virginia, Dorothy was 27 years old and had formerly worked at the Edinburg Aileen Plant. She told the Shenandoah Valley-Herald she enjoyed working at the post office and looked forward to a “long and successful career.” Her favorite part of the job was having a set series of rules to be followed and commented “the other employees have been most cooperative.” When asked about female employees Postmaster Charles Sheetz told the Shenandoah Valley-Herald the Postal Service did not discriminate based on sex and added “If a woman can do the work that was formerly reserved for me, she should not only have the job but also the wages that go with it.”
