History of women in Dallas
I am reading a fascinating book about the history of women in Dallas as part of my research on Dallas women’s page editor Vivian Castleberry. Women and the Creation of Urban Life, by Elizabeth York Enstam examines Dallas from 1843-1920. It is well written and well researched. I loved this passage: “Cities, not the frontier, emancipated American women.”And, “Dallas was a contradiction of custom and tradition.” (pg 180) I also liked her examination of early club women – whose work was often covered in the women’s pages. It was a power partnership.

Carol Sutton’s daughter
Here is a short Q & A with Carrie Orman, the daughter of Louisville women’s page editor turned managing editor Carol Sutton. Here is what she said about her mother: “Historical character identified with: My mom, Carol Sutton. She is a historical character and has been written about several times. (Sutton, former managing editor of The Courier-Journal, was the first woman to hold that position at a major U.S. daily, according to the newspaper’s archives.)”

Fashion reporter Yvonne Pendleton
I just ordered the oral history of Yvonne Pendleton from the Sixth Floor Museum, who was a fashion reporter at the Dallas Times Herald. She worked for women’s page editor Vivian Castleberry, who I am writing a book about. The Sixth Floor Museum oral histories have been very helpful in understanding Dallas in the 1960s.
