Page "Dee Dee Myers" Paragraph 6

According to the Detroit Free Press, Myers earned a reputation for her " humour and patience " in handling the White House press corps, often delivering " quick one-liners " while issuing daily press briefings.

Until September 1994, when she was given the rank of Assistant to the President, she held the lesser title of " deputy assistant " and had a lower salary than previous White House Press Secretaries.

She also lacked consistent access to Clinton's inner circle.

This was frequently noted in news coverage about Myers throughout her term, and is addressed in her 2008 book, Why Women Should Rule The World.
