Dorothy Jurney edits
Today I am working on final edits on my article about legendary women’s page editor Dorothy Jurney. It is scheduled to run in a national journal next Spring.
Dorothy was likely the best known women’s page editor in the country in the 1950s and 1960s. Her newspaper career began during the Great Depression and ended in the 1980s which made telling her story a daunting task. Much of the material for the article came from Dorothy’s papers at the Western Historical Manuscript Collection at the University of Missouri – my favorite archive.
