Roberta, a most remarkable Fulbright
by Dorothy D. Stuck
Obscured in history by her internationally renowned son, Sen. J. William Fulbright, Roberta Waugh Fulbright was, nonetheless, an extraordinary person deserving of tribute. Here, finally and fittingly, is her biography - a sensitive portrait of a complex woman who was one of Arkansas's dominant figures.
Traditional mother of six children, gardener, thinker, and provocative conversationalist, Roberta Fulbright became a sudden widow at age forty-nine. She eventually took charge of the inherited, fragmented business holdings originally assembled by her husband, Jay, and molded them into a multi-enterprise family firm. As such, she emerged as an influential newspaper publisher and columnist, bank president, savvy business owner, and conscientious civic crusader.
Through her own self-confidence and canny business sense, she became a formidable competitor in Fayetteville's male-dominated business establishment.
