Biographical History
Katharine Kinderman, daughter of Marian (Cannon) Schlesinger and Arthur Meier Schlesinger, Jr., was born and raised in Cambridge, Massachusetts. She attended the Buckingham School (Cambridge) and Boston University, and graduated from Loretto Heights College in Denver with a degree in mass communications. After serving as an American Field Service counselor, a VISTA volunteer (in Eastern Kentucky), and an administrative assistant at Yale University, Kinderman produced programs for WGBH-TV (PBS) in Boston (1969-1970). During the first half of 1971 she was a news reporter for WCHS-TV in Charleston, West Virginia, and in the latter half, project director for Designs for Rural Action, a private consulting firm concerned with rural poverty. As program director of Continental Cablevision (1972-1974) in Concord, New Hampshire, Kinderman wrote and produced local programs, in addition to moderating a community talk show. The following year (July 1975 - June 1976), she was a video consultant for Metro State College in Denver. In August 1976 she became the public affairs producer for KRMA-TV (PBS) in Denver.
In Her Own Right, produced for WGBH-TV by Kinderman in the summer of 1970, was a series of seven programs by and about women. According to KK, the show "came out of a desire in the late 60's for women to have their vehicle for expression on TV.... All different kinds of women" were represented on the program, which "previewed films by women film-makers and discussed issues of concern to women."
