New Image of Dorothy Jurney & Marie Anderson
Jeanne Voltz was kind enough to share this great 1959 image of Miami Herald women’s page editors Dorothy Jurney and Marie Anderson. Jeanne’s mother was the food editor at the Herald in the 1950s. Dorothy Jurney was the women’s page editor at the Miami Herald in the 1950s, with Marie Anderson as her assistant. When Dorothy moved on the Detroit Free Press in the 1950s, Marie became the editor. Under her leadership, the women’s page section was retired from the Penney Missouri Awards – the top recognition for the pages – because it won so many times.

National Women & Media Collection
I was happy to provide a quote for this National Women & Media Collection poster. So much of my research is due to the documents that are housed at the NWMC. It was established by women’s page editor turned publisher Marjorie Paxon.
