Tucson women’s editor Betty Milburn
I recently came across the 2008 obituary of Tucson women’s page editor Betty Milburn Schumacher.
According to her obituary:
“She was Woman’s View editor from 1950 to 1970. Under her guidance, the women’s section expanded its coverage from social news, fashion and food to coverage of women in politics, the feminist movement, and consumer and family issues.
Mrs. Schumacher wrote a social column for the section. She covered fashion shows in major cities around the country and also wrote for the newspaper from food conventions.”
I hope to learn more about Betty and her women’s section. That is her on the right in the above photo.

I continue to read and enjoy your blog sooo much. Am finding it inspiring. I would like to share your link at some point on my blog, if you don't mind. I do a LOT of riffing on books and advertising and articles and images aimed at women in magazine, etc from the 30s-70s over at dearhelenhartman.blogpsot.com and would love to serve some actual information with my snarkiness.
