Marjory Stoneman Douglas
Lance and I went to Brevard County yesterday to clean up the beach in an effort to help save the sea turtles. One of the most significant women in Florida conservation was Marjory Stoneman Douglas who helped save the Everglades. Marjory was good friends with many of the Florida’s women’s page editors. Here she is with several of them, including Marie Anderson and Dorothy Jurney. (Marjory is the one wearing the hat.)

Marie Anderson’s mother II
I just received the book Celebrating Florida’s First 150 Women Lawyers in the mail. (My thanks to the folks at Stetson University for the suggestion.) It shows that Miami Herald women’s page editor Marie Anderson’s mother (who shared the same name) earned a law degree from Stetson University College of Law in 1914. The photo with her biography (pg 9) looks very much like her daughter who is shown above.
