We spent the afternoon going through Indiana women’s page journalist and food editor Ann Hamman’s thesis on microfiche. Her thesis, about the cost effectiveness of washers and dryers in the post-World War era, was interesting and showed how home economics was very much about economics.

Above is a great letter to the editor of the Columbia Journalism Review from Ann Hamman.

I am still collecting the initial information about Ann’s career. She is the first of the women’s page editors I have studied who had a background in home economics and found journalism later.
