Aileen Ryan articles
Thanks to new Google News scans, I found found several newspaper articles written by and about Milwaukee Journal women’s page editor Aileen Ryan. She won three Penney-Missouri Awards in the 1960s and was a national expert on fashion. She was the first newspaper reporter to attend the New York Fashion shows in the 1940s. I published a journal article about Ryan in 2004. These recent discoveries have validated what I had published and reinforced the important role Ryan played in fashion journalism. I hope to explore more about fashion coverage in the women’s pages and what it tells us about history.

Dorothy Jurney and Michigan
Yesterday I received this back issue of Michigan History Magazine. The issue features the following letter to the editor in response to my article about women’s page journalist Roberta Applegate. The writer gives kudos to another great Michigan women’s page editor: Dorothy Jurney. (My article featured a photo of Roberta and Dorothy together.) These women were pioneers in redesigning women’s page content. My article about Dorothy comes out this Spring. Here is a link to speech at Roberta’s induction into the Michigan Journalism Hall of Fame.

Catherine East tribute
I just received a wonderful package from Duke Library. Among the papers was this DVD of a tribute to Catherine East. She was a great feminist leader who often worked with women’s page editors – especially Marie Anderson and Vera Glaser. I hope to watch the DVD later today.
