More about Marie Anderson
I have found references to images of Miami Herald women’s page editor Marie Anderson in the Special Collections at the University of West Florida. This image is in Marie’s papers at the University of Missouri. I think these might be her parents. Here is proof that Marie was a delegate to the National Women’s Conference in 1977.Here is a slide show of Marie Anderson. This is my earlier post about Marie.

Florida Conference of Historians
My article about Edee Greene has been accepted for presentation at the Florida Conference of Historians in February 2009. Edee Greene was the women’s page editor of the Fort Lauderdale News in the 1950s and 1960s. She won numerous Penney-Missouri Awards and was good friends with fellow Florida women’s page editor Marj Paxson. Here is my earlier post on Marj. I just found the obituary of Edee’s father Henry Nielsen. The obituary of Edee’s brother proved that “Edee” was a nickname for Edith.

Marie Anderson & the Miami Herald
Marie Anderson was a groundbreaking women’s page editor at the Miami Herald in the 1950s and 1960s. She worked with some of the best women’s page journalists of the time, including Roberta Applegate, Dorothy Jurney and Marjorie Paxson. She won so many Penney-Missouri Awards, the top recognition for the sections, that she was briefly retired from the competition. For more on Marie Anderson, read my article (along with Lance Speere) in Florida Historical Quarterly, Spring 2007. Anderson, along with other Florida women’s page editors, can be found in my article in a 2006 South Florida History Magazine. Marie’s papers are at the Western Historical Manuscript Collection.
