Colleegn Shogan, the new head of the National Archives, is a veteran academic and author of grisly D.C. murder mysteries.
On her desk, Shogan has a copy of the “Can Do” paperweight on Lady Bird Johnson’s desk at the LBJ Presidential Library in Austin.
“Yet you don’t see many women in leadership roles in those professions,” she said. “So you see this sometimes as a big challenge for women in particular, when they’re represented in a field numerically … but they don’t hold the top leadership positions. So I think it’s really important for a woman to serve in this role.”The National Archives and Records Administration encompasses the landmark headquarters building in Washington, a large research facility in College Park, Md.
“It was a harrowing experience at times … but it proved to me that you’re always tougher than you think you are,” she wrote. Plus, she had time to write a new mystery novel.Shogan is from North Huntingdon, Pa., a suburb southeast of Pittsburgh. She said she grew up in a 1950s three-bedroom brick ranch house in a working-class development called Markvue Manor.
