Women’s Page Editor Arlene Alligood
I am just beginning to collect information about 1968 Penney-Missouri Award-winning women’s page editor Arlene Alligood.
She spent most of the 1960s working at the St. Petersburg Times and the Evening-Independent. While at the sister newspapers, she would have worked with Anne Rowe Goldman and Gloria Biggs. Here is one of her articles.
Her Penney-Missouri Award was for her work at the Suffolk Sun in New York. She was a founding editor of the newspaper which began publication on November 21, 1966.
In January of 1968, she joined the women’s page staff at the Washington Post.
She earned a bachelor’s degree in journalism from the University of Florida. Here is an article she wrote while in school.
The above image is from the Penney-Missouri papers located at the Western Historical Manuscript Collection at the University of Missouri.
After the end of the women’s pages, she went on to fascinating career that I am beginning to explore.
