Final Dorothy Jurney edits
This morning I am finishing my final edits on my article about Dorothy Jurney. Her career was amazing. She completely redefined the women’s sections of the Miami Herald and the Detroit Free-Press yet has been largely forgotten. She did not even garner an obit in the Herald.

Carol Sutton reference
I just finished reading a chapter about Carol Sutton in the above book, It Happened in Kentucky. Carol was an award-winning women’s page editor at the Louisville Courier-Journal. She transitioned her section from traditional to progressive prior to the introduction of the Washington Post’s Style section. She went on to become the first female managing editor at a metro daily. My article about Carol comes out this Spring.

Anne Rowe Goldman column
Yesterday I found this column Anne Rowe Goldman (a former women’s page editor) wrote in her role as ombudsman at the St. Pete Times during the late 1970s. Goldman was like many of her fellow women’s page journalists who reinvented their careers after the end of the women’s sections. Carol Sutton took on a similar position at the Louisville Courier-Journal after being the women’s page editor and then a brief tenure at a managing editor.

Bobbi McCallum parents
Yesterday I received this image of Bobbi McCallum’s parents. (They are the couple in the middle.) It can be found in the Seattle P-I photos at the Museum of History & Industry in Seattle. I am working on the captions for my article on Bobbi who was a women’s page journalist at the P-I in the 1960s. She died suddenly at age 25. The article is scheduled to run this Spring.
