AJHA Acceptance
I just learned that 
my paper “Powerful Partnership: Florida Women’s Page Editors and Club Women,” has been accepted for the American Journalism Historians Association Convention in Seattle this fall.
The paper tells the stories of Florida women’s page editors in the post-World War II years through the 1960s and their interactions with women’s clubs. The progressive women’s page editors of the state were expanding their coverage of women’s news following the war. Together, these women helped to create the foundations of their communities from libraries to hospitals. They created awareness about social issues from child abuse to environmentalism. This photo is of Roberta Applegate, a Miami Herald women’s page reporter, covering a women’s club event.
