Biographical history
Elizabeth Dundas Long was a Canadian journalist and broadcaster who was head of the Women's Talks Department at the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC). Born in Winnipeg, Manitoba on October 10, 1891, Long was educated at the University of Manitoba where she received her Master of Arts in English Poetry. In 1920 she began working as Reporter of Women's Activities for the Winnipeg Tribune and in 1922 became Editor of the Social and Women's Department at the Winnipeg Free Press. Long worked there until 1926 when she became Associate Editor of the Free Press Prairie Farmer. In 1938 Long joined the CBC, the first woman to be hired by the corporation in an executive capacity, as head of women's interests. She later worked as special advisor to the CBC on women's interests until her retirement in 1956. During this time, and in her retirement years, she held many positions such as Vice President of the International Council of Women. Long died in 1978.

Scope and content
Typescript carbon copy of a letter from Elizabeth Long to Mrs. Edward T. James, Director of The Arthur and Elizabeth Schlesinger Library at Radcliffe College regarding the possible acquisition of duplicate books related to feminist efforts in the United States, including History of Women's Suffrage by Susan B. Anthony. The letter includes an overview of the Lady Aberdeen Library, references to correspondence with Mrs. Marcia Williams Bradley of the Sophia Smith Collection, and plans Doris Lewis has to make a trip down the easy coast to visit.
Of note is the sharing of Long's opinion of Lewis: "I have profound admiration for Mrs. Lewis and her abilities both as a Librarian and an Administrator. In fact I am very eager to be finished with my amateur efforts, and hand everything over to her wise and sympathetic management."
