Collection Overview

Biography / History
William Woodward was born October 2, 1874, in Ridge Spring, South Carolina. He was educated at The Citadel, which later conferred to him its first honorary LLD. In 1893 he began his newspaper career with "The Atlanta Constitution". In 1897, he moved to New York to work as a reporter for "The World". From there, he went into magazine and book editing, and advertising, which led to a position as the Vice President of the J. Walter Thompson Company.
In 1912, William organized and published the first syndicated book review section distributed to papers throughout the country. He employed Sinclair Lewis, then unknown and working on his first novel, as its editor. The section was discontinued at the peak of its success in 1914 when publishers backed out on the assumption that World War I would kill book sales. In 1916, William became the vice president of the Industrial Finance Corporation, and in 1919 he gave himself completely to writing. His first book, a satirical novel about the advertising industry was titled Bunk. Bunk was published in 1923 and received with great enthusiasm. He is attributed with coining the term "debunk" in this novel. Many books followed, with William's major fame coming with the publication of George Washington, the Image and the Man in 1926. With this book he introduced a new way of writing the historical biography.
William was also president of the Authors' Guild; chairman of the Writers League Against Lynching; and the only writer on the Business Advisory Council, appointed in 1933 under the Roosevelt administration. William Woodward died in New York on September 27, 1950.
Helen Woodward was born in 1882 in New York City and educated in Boston, Massachusetts. She spent twenty years in the advertising business specializing in copy, and ten years as an account executive. Helen wrote extensively for magazines, a syndicated newspaper column, and the following books: Through Many Windows, Harper's, 1925 (autobiographical); Three Flights Up, Dodd Mead (written considerably later than previous book, also autobiographical, covering another period); It's an Art, Harcourt (advertising and the consumer); The Lady Persuaders, Ivan Obolensky, Inc., 1960; General Billy Mitchell, Duell, Sloan and Pearce (for teenagers); Queen's in the Parlor, Bobbs-Merrill (a novel); Money to Burn, McKay (a mystery). She also collaborated on the following works: Way of the Lancer and Lancer Down with Richard Boleslavski, published by Bobbs-Merrill; Way of the Lancer was a literary guild selection and is the account of secret flight of Boleslavki, a member of Moscow Art Theater, with two colleagues across Russia to Poland during the Bolshevik Revolution; 200 Years of Charleston Cooking, Cape Smith; Bowling Green Murders, Random House.
Helen collected the letters, manuscripts, and diaries of her husband, William, after he died in the hopes of publishing a biographical work.
Sherrill Redmon (married name McConnell) attended the University of Louisville and then attended the University of Kentucky to earn her Doctor of Philosophy in History. Her dissertation, Debunker: the life and writings of W.E. Woodward, was published in 1974. Redmon is the retired director of the Sophia Smith Collection of the Women's History Archives at Smith College. While at Smith College, she help build a more racially and culturally diverse special collections. Redmon and Gloria Steinem, an American feminist journalist and social political activist, worked on an oral history project called Voices of Feminism. Redmon lives in Massachusetts.

Dissertation, drafts, and research, 1923-2003, undated

Scope and Contents

The Dissertation, drafts and research series (1923-2003) primarily comprises Sherrill Redmon's drafts and research notes for her Doctor of Philosophy in History dissertation, Debunker : the life and writings of W.E. Woodward. Most of Redmon's research was conducted while a doctoral student at the University of Kentucky, 1968-1974. The research notes were taken during interviews with contemporaries of William E. and Helen Woodward, as well as, taken visiting archives and special collection libraries throughout the United States. The multiple copies of chapter and disertation drafts contain notes by Redmon and University of Kentucky professors. The series also includes some primary source letters, presumably given to Redmon by Woodward's colleagues. A significant portion or the series is nearly a cubic foot of research notecards created by Redmon for classes and her dissertation. Also, included are two books by W.E. Woodward: Bunk and Evelyn Prentice, as well as a copy of Redmon's full dissertation as published in 1974.
