Jeanne Voltz & Marian Manners

With one more free week before classes start, I am doing some work on my article about women’s page journalist and food editor Jeanne Voltz. She wrote under her own name in the 1950s while she was at the Miami Herald. When she moved to the L.A. Times in the 1960s, she initially wrote under the pen name “Marian Manners.” That’s a photo of the original Marian Manners above. Here is an article about her.

One item missing from the L.A. Times story was that the initial food editor reported to the advertising department. It was not until Jeanne Voltz that the food editor moved over to the editorial side and could exercise objectivity. This is the area I am developing in my article about Voltz.
