New Gloria Biggs Papers
Yesterday, I discovered a collection that had a folder of papers from women’s page editor and then publisher Gloria Biggs. The papers are from her time post-publisher working with the World Press Freedom Committee. Her official papers are in the National Women and Media Collection in Missouri. I am presenting a paper about on Biggs at the Florida Historical Society’s annual meeting in Jacksonville this weekend. It is called: “I Weep When I Read the Lines about Not Being a Feminist”: Gloria Biggs’ Transition from Women’s Page Editor to Publisher.”

Nickerson’s review is credited with the initial success of the book. I am currently working with a student on an independent study about Jane Nickerson – the first food editor of the New York Times.
