Early life[edit]
O'Dell was born in Charleston, West Virginia. She had a brother Jim and a sister Judy. She graduated from the University of West Virginia and worked as a reporter in Hollywood, Florida, and for the West Virginia Gazette. During the 1970s, she graduated from Marshall University with a master's degree in communications and got a job in public relations for Morris Harvey College. She was hired by the West Virginia governor Jay Rockefeller IV as a speechwriter and he later appointed her as head of the communications division of the Governor's Office of Economic and Community Development.[1][2]
She moved to the Washington area in 1985 to work for NOW and quickly became an integral part of the national feminist leadership. She helped lead NOW's opposition to Supreme Court nominee Robert Bork. In 1995, she was among the 35,000 women who attended the United Nations' Fourth World Conference on Women in China.
