Carol Sutton reference
I just finished reading a chapter about Carol Sutton in the above book, It Happened in Kentucky. Carol was an award-winning women’s page editor at the Louisville Courier-Journal. She transitioned her section from traditional to progressive prior to the introduction of the Washington Post’s Style section. She went on to become the first female managing editor at a metro daily. My article about Carol comes out this Spring.

Bobbi McCallum parents
Yesterday I received this image of Bobbi McCallum’s parents. (They are the couple in the middle.) It can be found in the Seattle P-I photos at the Museum of History & Industry in Seattle. I am working on the captions for my article on Bobbi who was a women’s page journalist at the P-I in the 1960s. She died suddenly at age 25. The article is scheduled to run this Spring.

Anne Rowe Goldman paper
I am working on my conference paper about St. Pete women’s page editor Anne Rowe Goldman. I am adding information today from the Penney-Missouri papers at the University of Missouri, including the Matrix article in this post. One of Rowe Goldman’s biggest projects was transforming the women’s page into a features section called “Day.”

Roberta Applegate article
I found this Miami Herald article written by women’s page journalist Roberta Applegate in the Nixon Presidential Library. Although the Herald typically had a strong women’s page, this story is just fluff. It must have been a disappointing assignment for Roberta who had a hard news background. (I wrote an article about Roberta in 2007.) I am looking through the Nixon finding guides for information about a White House Task Force about women hat included women’s page journalist Vera Glaser.
