Anne Rowe
Anne Rowe (later Goldman) was a Penney-Missouri Award-winning women’s page editor at the St. Petersburg Times. She was born in New Jersey and moved to St. Petersburg when she was young. A few days after her graduation from St. Petersburg High School, she was hired by the St. Peterburg Times’ library. She rose through ranks to the women’s editor of the St. Pete Times and the sister newspaper, St. Pete Evening Independent. In 1966, she became the newsfeature editor. It was the first time in the history of the newspaper that a woman oversaw a section with as many men as women.
Anne was friends with several of the Florida women’s page editors including Marie Anderson, Gloria Biggs and Edee Greene. Anne wrote letters to Paul Myhre about how to improve women’s page journalism. I have through these letters at the University of Missouri.
