Thanks to new Google News scans, I found found several newspaper articles written by and about Milwaukee Journal women’s page editor Aileen Ryan. She won three Penney-Missouri Awards in the 1960s and was a national expert on fashion. She was the first newspaper reporter to attend the New York Fashion shows in the 1940s.

I published a journal article about Ryan in 2004. These recent discoveries have validated what I had published and reinforced the important role Ryan played in fashion journalism. I hope to explore more about fashion coverage in the women’s pages and what it tells us about history.
