I have been going through Peggy Daum’s 1962 master’s thesis from Marquette University – Women’s Pages Today: A Comparative Study of Six Newspapers. Peggy was a women’s page reporter for the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel in the 1950s and 1960s. She became the food editor of the section in 1968 and remained in the position for two decades. It was interesting to learn more about Peggy.

In addition, her thesis was helpful in learning more about women’s sections at the time. Peggy surveyed three of the women’s page editors I have studied: Marie Anderson, Gloria Biggs and Dorothy Jurney. Peggy also interviewed her boss, Aileen Ryan – another research subject.

Her research uncovered interesting relationships between the women’s page editors, readers and management that I plan to explore.
