Anne Rowe research
I am writing a paper about St. Petersburg Times and St. Petersburg Evening Independent women’s page editor Anne Rowe for an upcoming history conference. In 1910, the owner of the Evening Independent declared St. Petersburg the “Sunshine City” and made the famous “Sunshine Offer”: On any day the sun didn’t shine, the newspaper would be given away. There were only 200 times this happened in nearly 80 years. Here is more information. Anne helped to transform the women’s section of the Evening Independent in the 1960s. I discovered great information about the transformation in the Penney-Missouri papers at the University of Missouri.

Nelson Poynter papers
Yesterday, Lance and I went to USF in St. Pete. We spent the morning going through the papers of Nelson Poynter and Henrietta Poynter. (They were owners of the St. Pete Times during the best years for women’s pages – the 1960s.) Here is Henrietta’s obituary. There were a few references to top women’s page editors Gloria Biggs and Anne Rowe. There was no record of the numerous Penney-Missouri Awards that the women’s section earned. I am continuing to collect information on the women’s section of the St. Pete Times.

Anne Rowe
Anne Rowe (later Goldman) was a Penney-Missouri Award-winning women’s page editor at the St. Petersburg Times. She was born in New Jersey and moved to St. Petersburg when she was young. A few days after her graduation from St. Petersburg High School, she was hired by the St. Peterburg Times’ library.
