Title A name given to the resource Hettie Gray Baker Description An account of the resource Hettie Gray Baker was born in Hartford, Connecticut in 1881 and completed a “special course” in Library Science at Simmons sometime before 1907. She worked at the Hartford Public Library and then as a legal librarian at the Hartford Bar Library before abandoning librarianship for the film industry, where she worked as a photoplay writer and then as a film editor for Fox Film. Baker believed that her work on Daughter of the Gods (1916) made her the first woman to be named as an editor in a film’s credits. In the 1930s, Baker worked for Twentieth Century-Fox as a censor representative, overseeing the company’s relations with state censorship boards. A suffragist and Unitarian, Baker was engaged in activism for much of her life. In 1914, she helped found the Photoplay Authors’ League (the forerunner of today’s Screenwriters Guild of America), and was elected vice president of the organization in its first year. She was also a member of the Municipal Art Society of Hartford and the Drama League of Hartford, as well as a frequent contributor to various film and theatre magazines. She remained connected to Simmons, serving as vice president of the New York Simmons Club in 1922. Baker died in 1957. The extent of her work as an uncredited film editor and scriptwriter remains unknown. https://beatleyweb.simmons.edu/suffrage/files/original/80e67371e09497a9add93a04ca030fd5.jpg 7b86057a977c71ee92951189648c9a99 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

After completing her program in 1908, Strong worked as an assistant at the Cleveland Public Library until 1911, when she took a leave of absence to pursue special study in Sociology and French at Simmons from 1911 to 1912. In 1913, Strong married physician Martin Peck of Vermont and had one daughter, also named Wilda Claire Peck, born in 1924. After their wedding, the Pecks moved to Lynn, Massachusetts, where Wilda became an active member of the Lynn Political Science Club’s Suffrage Department and the Lynn Equal Suffrage Association. In 1914, Peck returned to Simmons as an instructor, teaching courses in Library Science and working as a librarian. She was hired in 1918 to teach full-time in the Library Science and Sociology departments, and she remained at the college until 1925. In addition to her teaching work, Peck held a number of positions during her career as a librarian, including First Assistant at the Perkins Children’s Library, Cataloguer at the Boston Athenaeum, and Chief of the Boston Public Library’s Children’s Department. After Peck’s first marriage ended in divorce, she moved to Washington, D.C. and there married Joseph MacKenzie in 1934, taking his name.

She became Chairman of the chapter’s College Student Membership Committee in 1938 and was elected Treasurer in 1944.
