Penney-Missouri Award Director Paul Myhre Article
Yesterday I sent off my article about Paul Myhre – director of the Penney-Missouri Awards, the top honor for women’s pages in the decade of the 1960s. That is a photo of Myhre above from the Penney-Missouri Papers now at the Missouri Historical Society.
The paper, “The Wizard of the Women’s Pages: Raising the Curtain on Paul Myhre, the Man Behind the Penney-Missouri Awards and the Network of Women It Fostered,” was presented at the AEJMC convention in St. Louis this past August.
It is expected to run as an invited piece in a national journal in 2012. The papers adds more detail to the changing content of the women’s pages in the 1960s.
