Using public records

I have been using Florida’s strong FOIA law to request public records that relate to women’s page editors. Below is the initial divorce record for Dorothy Jurney. Her husband Frank appealed this decision and won. He died not long after the appeal. (He appealed on the grounds that there was no cruelty in the marriage – the only grounds for divorce at the time.)

My article about Dorothy, known as the godmother of women’s pages, is scheduled to be published next year.
