Old newspaper comic book
In 1949, the Minneapolis Star and Tribune produced a comic book to commemorate the opening of the newspapers’ new building on Portland Ave. in Minneapolis. It has been scanned and is available online. Of the many positions at the newspaper, women are only featured three times – interviewing Miss America, a travel writer and the food editor. All three positions were likely in the women’s pages. It is interesting to see the position of food editor in 1949 – it is unclear exactly when these positions were established on the news side.

Women’s Liberation Movement
I have written about the favorable coverage that women’s page editors gave women’s liberation leaders and issues. That was not the case in other sections of the newspapers. Take for example, the above article from the city section of the Dallas Times Herald in 1972. This is the lead: “Jaquie Davison, a voluptuous blonde mother of six from Atlanta, says pox on bra-burning ‘women libbers.’” Hill then quotes the woman while again describing her appearance, “My role as a wife and mother is being attacked. Man is divinely ordained to be leader of the home, and things should stay that way,” said “the blonde, brown-eyed Mrs. Davison said.” The woman…

Food critics in the women’s pages
The Los Angeles Times published an interesting piece in its food section yesterday. This is the lead:”Well, that was interesting. A couple of days before Christmas, one of the owners of the new Beverly Hills restaurant Red Medicine created a firestorm by confronting Times restaurant critic S. Irene Virbila while she was waiting for a table, snapping her picture, kicking her and her party out of the restaurant and then posting the picture on the Internet for all to see. By the next morning, more than 15 years of working to remain anonymous were ruined.” Typically, food critics remain anonymous. (These reviews were found in the women’s pages.) Here are…
