I learned yesterday that I received the $6,500 UCF Internal Grant to research the work of feminist leader Kathryn “Kay” Clarenbach. I am interested in how she worked with the media and especially women’s page editors. Many women’s page editors worked with feminist leaders and wrote women’s liberation stories before the news side became aware of the issues. I will visit UW-Madison this summer to go through her papers. I am so thankful to UCF for this opportunity.

Anne Rowe Goldman on Dipity.

Yesterday I found this column Anne Rowe Goldman (a former women’s page editor) wrote in her role as ombudsman at the St. Pete Times during the late 1970s. Goldman was like many of her fellow women’s page journalists who reinvented their careers after the end of the women’s sections. Carol Sutton took on a similar position at the Louisville Courier-Journal after being the women’s page editor and then a brief tenure at a managing editor.
