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.

Talk at Urban Rethink
I enjoyed speaking about Florida women's page editors and their role in building community at Urban ReThink on Tuesday night. I spoke about Marie Anderson and Roberta Applegate from the Miami Herald; Anne Rowe from the St. Petersburg Times and Edee Greene from the Fort Lauderdale News. A highlight of the experience was speaking with Edee's grandson Patrick.
Here is a link to my PowerPoint from the talk.
