A blog devoted to 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.

Orlando Home & Garden Show
Today we attended the Orlando Home & Garden Show. It reminded me of the trade shows that furnishing editors used to cover for the women's pages - such as Lois Hagen at the Milwaukee Journal or Jo Werne at the Miami Herald.
We heard the gardening writer for the Orlando Sentinel speak. Many women's pages included columns on gardening. I am curious if there was a connection between those columns and the gardening clubs that existed in most communities.
