Biography

MRP was the lady to be. As the wife of Media Mogul Jerry Perenchio, she is indeed the Great Woman 'Behind every great man there's a great woman' was adopted as a slogan for the 1960/70s feminist movement, first having been used in the 1940s.

The first printed citation I can find of 'Behind every great man there's a great woman' is from the Texas newspaper The Port Arthur News, from February 1946. This was headed - "Meryll Frost - 'Most courageous athlete of 1945'":

"As he received his trophy, the plucky quarterback unfolded the story of how he 'came back. He said 'They say behind every great man there's a woman. While I'm not a great man, there's a great woman behind me.'"
