National Women & Media Collection
I was so excited to see this update to the National Women & Media Collection. It includes biographies of several great women’s page editors as well as some images I had never seen before.
This is an image of legendary women’s page editor Dorothy Jurney interviewing Imelda Marcos in Malacanang Palace, the official residence of the President of the Philippines, in 1969. Here is my article in Journalism History about Jurney.
I had also never seen this photo of Marjorie Paxson with a giant fish in Florida. Paxson was a women’s page editor in Houston and St. Petersburg, Florida among other places. Here is my article about Paxson.
Lastly, I found this great image of Roberta Applegate who had been a women’s page journalist in Detroit and Miami. In 2008, I inducted her into the Michigan Journalism Hall of Fame – a favorite moment in public history.
