Thesis About Newspaper Advice Columns
I appreciate UCF’s ILL for tracking down this thesis, “A Value-Analysis of Advice Columns in Newspapers” from 1953 at the University of Texas. These columns typically ran in the women’s section of newspapers.
In this study, the author examined the following columns: Mrs. Mayfield’s Mailbag (Denver Rocky Mountain News), Martha Carr’s Opinion (St. Louis Post-Dispatch), Mary Haworth’s Mail (San Jose Mercury) and The Good Neighbor/Anita Day Hubbard (San Francisco Examiner).
These women will be a part of my upcoming book about women’s page journalism. I am collecting information abut them – including the work of Mary Haworth, which was the pen name for Mary Elizabeth Young. Her papers are at the University of Wyoming.
