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.

Day Two: Women's Page History in 7 Objects
Day Two of Women's Page History in Seven Object - is the telephone. The above phone was a Christmas present this year. It was found in an antique store in Cocoa Beach.
The women's page reporter on the phone is Bobbi McCallum. She was a journalist in Seattle who died at age 25. There is a scholarship still given in her memory.
The image above can be found in the Seattle Post-Intelligencer collection at the Museum of History & Industry.
Here is a link to my story about Bobbi.
