Vivian Castleberry & the Kennedy Assassination
Today I am working on a chapter of my book about Dallas women’s page editor Vivian Castleberry. I am writing about her coverage of the assassination of President Kennedy. Vivian is included in the above book. I am working on the material I collected when I went through her papers two years ago. Vivian was covering the “women’s angle” of the president’s visit to Dallas. This is from Vivian’s recollection of that day at the Trade Mart, where the president and first day were to have lunch: “In time of peak tragedy, there are so many small human interest stories that get lost among the bigger things.

Voltz, cookbooks & yummy chicken
In my research on newspaper food journalist Jeanne Voltz (Miami Herald and L.A. Times women’s sections), I have collected all of her cookbooks – other than the ham book. In addition to some great recipes, I have learned much about Jeanne through her childhood recollections and acknowledgements. Above is my favorite of her cookbooks. Last night we made the above recipe made with Florida oranges. This is how is turned out – yummy! I hope to hear if my conference paper about Jeanne is accepted soon.

This is the Women’s Media Center’s take on it: “Wonder Woman in Pants is Not a Feminist Win.” What the analysis does not address is how hard women fought to wear pants. (I am presenting a paper on this topic at the National Communication Association convention next November.) Up until the women’s liberation movement, women were barred from wearing pants in the workplace and at restaurants. Former Texas and Florida women’s page editor Marjorie Paxson ran into a “no pants” policy when she first became a newspaper publisher for Gannett. On her first day of work…
