Biography
American journalist, called "the godmother of women's pages" by the National Press Club Foundation. As women's page editor for the Miami Herald during the 1950s, she shifted the focus of those pages from the "Four F's – family, food, fashion, and furnishings" – to focus on covering women's issues as hard news, and influenced other newspapers to follow suit.
She married Frank J. Jurney in 1940. They were legally separated in 1959. She died in St. Petersburg, Florida on 19 June 2002 at age 93.
