Marjory Stoneman Douglas
I was just assigned a book review of Everglades legend Marjory Stoneman Douglas – the book is called An Everglades Providence. In addition to her environmental work, Marjory wrote for the Miami Herald. She was friends with women’s page journalists Marie Anderson, Helen Muir and Dorothy Jurney. Below is some great video of Marjory. More attention needs to be paid to the work of garden clubs and the work they did in conservation – a common topic for the women’s pages.

Brown the garlic, onion and crumbled beef in the oil. Add the flour, salt, paprika and mushrooms, stir, and let it cook five minutes while you light a cigarette and…

Bonnie Cashin and Eleni Epstein
I just ordered some letters between groundbreaking designed Bonnie Cashin and Penney-Missouri Award winner and Washington Star fashion editor Eleni Epstein. Bonnie’s papers are in the Special Collections at UCLA. I discovered the letters after a second review of the finding aid. Eleni’s maiden name is misspelled in the aid. At some point I hope to go through Bonnie’s papers. Bonnie was a designer for Coach purses. The company issued a special edition of Bonnie purses a few years ago. I just won the above bag on eBay – I am curious about her role as a design leader post-World War II. I am curious about the relationship between Bonnie…
