Miami News’ Billie (Womack) O’Day Images
In going through my files I came across these great images of Billie O’Day, women’s page editor of the Miami News in the 1960s. (Her real last name was Womack but she used the pen name Billie O’Day in both her byline and her professional life at this time.) In the top photo, Billie is in the coat on the far left as she won a Penney-Missouri Award for top women’s page in her circulation size. The second photo is from a Columbia, Missouri hotel room. Billie is giving a thumbs-up and that is Miami Herald women’s page editor Marie Anderson nearest the camera. I love the smoke and the…

Raising the Curtain on Paul Myhre, the Man Behind the Penney-Missouri Awards and the Network of Women It Fostered
Today I was working on my AEJMC paper, “The Wizard of the Women’s Pages: Raising the Curtain on Paul Myhre, the Man Behind the Penney-Missouri Awards and the Network of Women It Fostered.” In writing the panel presentation, I came across the letter and speech below between Miami Herald women’s page editor Marie Anderson and Penney-Missouri Award Director Paul Myhre. The exchange indicates the special friendship that Paul had with the women’s page editors during the 1960s.

Women’s Pages, Women’s Clubs and Wearing White Gloves
I am finishing up a paper for the upcoming AEJMC Convention in St. Louis. It is part of the Research Panel Session: Mad Men, Working Women, and History. My paper is called “Mad Men and Reasonable Women: Selling Bras Rather Than Burning Them.” I am going to focus on how women were making some inroads in 1960s adverting in products aimed at women, arguing that the selling of lipstick or bras should not be looked at as “lesser than” the selling of other products especially at a time when there were limited areas for women to claim authority. For a framework, I am making a comparison of Mad Men’s Peggy…

Roberta Applegate and the Miami Herald
Today I am going through some papers of Roberta Applegate that are house in the National Women and Media Collection. I have examined Roberta’s work as a women’s page journalist in Michigan but have not looked as closely at her work at the Miami Herald. She was the club editor for the women’s pages during the 1960s. This was at a time when there hundreds of women’s clubs in Miami. She worked for legendary women’s editor Marie Anderson. – Posted using BlogPress from my iPad
