Edee Greene divorce
I received the Fort Lauderdale News women’s page editor Edee Greene’s divorce decree. It was granted in 1951 for extreme cruelty and was not contested by her husband. (He left her for one of Edee’s friends.) She received no alimony and had to raise three children by herself. That’s what led to her first professional journalism position at the Orlando Sentinel.

Also included in the photo is Fort Lauderdale women’s page editor Edee Greene. I am presenting a paper about Edee at a conference this weekend. Here is a link to the conference program.
