Katherine Gram graduated from University of Chicago in 1938 and got a job as a news reporter in San Francisco. Katherines father used to be a successful investment banker. In 1933, he bought a failing newspaper, the Washington Post.
Then Katherine returned to Washington and got a job, editing letters in her fathers newspaper. She married Philip Gram, who took over his father-in-laws position shortly after and became publisher of the Washington Post. But for many years, her husband suffered from mental illness and he killed himself in 1963. After her husbands death, Katherine operated the newspaper. In the 1970s, the newspaper became famous around the world and Katherine was also recognized as an important leader in newspaper publishing. She was the first woman to head a major American publishing company, the Washington Post company. In a few years, she successfully expanded the company to include newspaper, magazine, broadcast and cable companies.
She died of head injuries after a fall when she was 84. More than 3 thousand people attended her funeral including many government and business leaders.
