After a time, Kidd was promoted to assistant bookkeeper, and then moved to the policy-issue office.
In 1935 she became supervisor of policy issues, a job she held for eight years which entailed reviewing all applications for insurance that arrived at headquarters.
By then Kidd had married Horace Street, a top Mammoth executive thirteen years her senior.
Though much had changed in the years since her girlhood in Kentucky, Kidd still trod a fine line because of the color of her skin, even in the 1940s.
Her husband refused to let her travel with him when Mammoth business took him to cities farther South, fearing an incident on the train or the refusal to be rented a hotel room, since Kidd was often mistaken for white.
Street died of heart disease in 1942.
