Yang, Mei-ling
Journalism and Mass Communication Quarterly, v73 n2 p364-78 Sum 1996
Examines the women's pages of the "Washington Post" in the 1950s that were edited by Marie Sauer. States that the newspaper turned down Sauer's request in 1952 to change from traditional women's pages to a unisex "lifestyle" section. Analyzes how women's pages were shaped by factors such as advertising, professional values, and gender beliefs. (PA)
