Breaking Through the Painted Ceiling

On this episode of The Spark: Back in the 1980's, Elkton's Sara Robinson boldly went where few women had gone before... to management level in the chemical manufacturing and minerals mining industries.

Next Week: In  part two of Martha's conversation with Sara Robinson, she talks about her latest book of poems Sometimes the  Little Town, and about growing up in Elkton as Hobby Robinson's daughter.

Marth Woodroof has retired from WMRA and is now spending her time as a full-time writer and published author.
