Betty Preston Oiler memo
This memo is from Glendale News-Press women’s editor Betty Preston Oiler to Gloria Biggs, a Florida women’s page editor. Betty is writing to congratulate Gloria on becoming the first woman to be a publisher of a Gannett newspaper. The women knew each other through the Penney-Missouri workshops.
In later years, Betty, herself, would become an executive editor. Here’s an earlier post about Betty.
This letter can be found in Gloria’s papers in the National Women and Media Collection at the Western Historical Manuscript Collection. I am in the process of writing about both Gloria and Betty.
