Joan Younger Dickinson’s work

I just received this book, The Stork and You, written by Joan Younger Dickinson. (I tracked it down on Amazon.) The book was an early version of What to Expect When You Are Expecting. JYD had been a wire reporter during World War II and then a staff writer for the Ladies Home Journal. She wrote the book after she had her child Rosalind.

I found this copy of the March 1947 Ladies Home Journal on eBay. It includes two long stories by JYD: “The Hard Price of Soft Coal” and “The Volunteer Worker, 1947 Style.”

I am continuing to work on article about Joan’s career.
