I was so excited to receive copies from the
Penney-Missouri Award papers about Milwaukee Journal women’s page reporter Lois Hagen. They are available at the Historical Society of Missouri.
 |
| This is my favorite part of the Awards’ papers: the biographies written by the winners. It is interesting to see how they describe themselves. |
 |
| I also like the great pictures included in the Awards’ papers. (I like that Lois is wearing gloves – I hope to write about the end of the white glove era one day.) |
 |
| This is a letter from the Awards’ Director Paul Myhre to Lois. He often exchanged letters with the women’s page editors which has helped me understand the history of these journalists and their work. |
