NPR had this interesting story about libraries becoming trendy.

The growth of libraries was largely based on women’s clubs who raised funds and awareness – an acceptable form of activism. These clubs were heavily covered in the women’s pages.

In Miami, Helen Muir was both a women’s page reporter and an advocate for libraries. I have gone through Helen’s papers at the University of Miami and plan to look at the intersection of women’s pages and cultural institutions like libraries. Women’s pages helped to create the foundation of many communities.
