Flo Burge

Florence “Flo” Burge was an award-winning women’s page editor in Reno, Nevada in the 1960s. She tackled progressive content, among more traditional content about weddings and cleaning tips. Unlike many of the women’s page editors, Burge was married and she raised twin daughters.

For more about Flo Burge, read my article on her in the Winter 2006, Nevada Historical Society Quarterly.

Or, read my entry about Burge in the Nevada Women’s History Project.

Burge’s papers are the University of Nevada Reno, Special Collections. I appreciate SIUE funding my travel to this archive.
