Annotation
Examines letters of Adelaide Hasse, head of the Public Documents Division at NYPL to explore Melvil Dewey's reputation amongst female colleagues. Focuses on the period around the 1906 ALA Conference when some members urged ALA to take action against Dewey after allegations of improper advances toward women librarians.
