AJHA Research-in-Progress

I learned on Friday that the paper that Christine and I wrote about the discrimination class-action lawsuits that women journalists filed in the 1970s against newspapers and wire services has been accepted as Research-in-Progress for the American Journalism Historians Association convention in October. (The photo above is of Mary Lou Butcher, who filed suit against the Detroit News – Butcher started as a women’s page journalist.) I’m hoping that Christine will present the paper since my baby is due at the end of October.

We worked on the research throughout the Spring semester. Our primary sources came from the WHMC.
