Ruth Ellen Church Letters

I was happy to learn that there is a folder of Chicago Tribune food editor Ruth Ellen Church’s letters (either to and/or from Church) in the papers of Cecily Brownstone – the longtime food editor of the Associated Press. They are in the Fales Library at NYU.

I found some great letters regarding food editors Jeanne Voltz and Jane Nickerson in this collection in the past. Here is a link to the guide to the papers. I placed my order for the Church letters yesterday.

I am working on a conference paper on the careers of Nickerson and Church. My later book proposal on food editors will also include Brownstone. The stories of these amazing women have not yet been told.
