Lori Wilson photo
I just found this image of an injured Florida Sen. Lori Wilson. I am working on a revise-and-resubmit on an article about Wilson and her fight for the ERA and her media image.

Lori Wilson photo
Senator Lori Wilson wipes a tear from her eye following the defeat of the ERA in the Senate. This photo was posted today on the feed of the State Library and Archives of Florida. It is in the Donn Dughi Collection. I am revising an article about the media’s coverage of the ERA fight in Florida for publication in a state history journal. Here is more about that research.

Florida Media Coverage of the Equal Rights Amendment
I’ve received a revise and resubmit on my article about Florida newspaper’s coverage of the Equal Rights Amendment and Sen. Lori Wilson. Sen. Wilson was the only woman in the state senate at the time and was the sponsor of the E.R.A. (She was also the wife of Gannett executive Al Neuharth at the time.) I’m working on the revisions now. Many women’s page journalists supported the ERA. But, in the 1970s, when the final states needed to be ratified, the sections were eliminated. The new sections were often headed by men. For example, Marjorie Paxson lost her job twice.

Sen. Lori Wilson Park
Yesterday, Lance and I visited Florida Sen. Lori Wilson Park in Cocoa Beach. (It’s beautiful.) My article about Sen. Wilson and the fight to ratify the ERA in Florida is under review at a historical journal. We also visited the Florida Historical Society in Cocoa. Update: I just received DVDs of a Lori Wilson oral history.
