Yesterday I moderated a panel about women and journalism at a regional Society of Professional Journalists conference. Some attendees seemed to be shocked that SPJ did not allow women to be members until 1969. It is important to recognize how many ways the industry discriminated against women and just how recent that it was the women were openly discriminated against.

Here is an article Lance and I wrote about the fight to allow women to become members of the Milwaukee Press Club – the oldest press club in the country. Milwaukee women’s page journalists were part of that fight.
