A blog devoted to newspaper women's page editors, with an emphasis on the work of fashion and food editors, beginning during World War II through the early 1970s. It documents the quilted news that the women created: a mix of hard and soft news. It also explores the women's pages association with advertising and public relations.

Talking to Chairs & Furnishing Writers
With all the mocking of Clint Eastwood talking to a chair at the RNC, I kept thinking how much fun the furnishing writers of the women's pages would have had. (Furnishings is one of the 4 Fs associated with the women's pages.) Three of the furnishing writers I am researching are Dorothy Dawe and Lois Hagen from the Milwaukee Journal, and Jo Werne from the Miami Herald.
If I were talk to a chair, this would be the kind I would choose.
