Tad Bartimus column & Janet Chusmir

I just found this great column about women and history written by journalism legend Tad Bartimus. I loved this line: “Every woman who has a “first” label attached to her name walks in the steps of countless foremothers.”

In the column she mentions women’s page editor turned newspaper executive Janet Chusmir – a good friend of Tad’s. I am currently working on an article about Janet. I want to explore the career paths of these early female newspaper executives.

I sat on a panel with Tad several years ago at the University of Missouri. She gave a wonderful talk.
