Helen Muir information
I just heard back from PBS and someone was able to track down a copy of the American Experience program, Mr. Miami. The program includes an interview with Helen Muir – a Miami News and Miami Herald women’s page journalist I am studying. Here is a link to the transcript of the program. Below is a new image related to Helen that I just found. She was a big advocate for libraries. I am continuing to collect information about Helen.

The three worked together on women’s issues – especially publicizing the…

Dorothy Jurney reference
I just discovered a story in the Michigan City News-Dispatch from Nov. 22 which features legendary women’s page editor Dorothy Jurney. The article, written by Laurie Wink, includes the following: “Jurney was the daughter of Mary and Herbert Misener. Her mother was active in women’s causes and her father was then-publisher of the Michigan City News, a forerunner of The News-Dispatch. In her letter, Jurney said her mother had arranged for Amelia Earhart to speak (on an unspecified date) to Michigan City’s Women’s Study Club. Jurney clearly remembered Earhart being on the stage, “standing tall and straight in front of the big curtain.” “She looked fragile for all of her…
