Associate Professor & Journalism Area Coordinator Dr. Kimberly Voss was recently featured as an expert source in a Columbia Journalism Review<\/em> article about women in journalism.<\/p>\n

Below is an excerpt from the piece.<\/p>\n

The question comes up again and again, as women\u2019s projects and concerns that have little to do with fashion nevertheless turn up in the Style pages. To answer it, we have to go back in time a bit and follow the history of the Style section\u2014back to its origins in the \u201cWomen\u2019s Page.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThey were women talking to women, making issues relevant so that women were encouraged to speak out about them,\u201d says Kimberly Voss, associate professor of journalism at the University of Central Florida. Voss maintains a blog devoted to\u00a0Women\u2019s Page history<\/a>, which she describes as a \u201cpublic history\u201d project, a way to correct the idea that women\u2019s pages were simply fluff.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey were doing good journalism, they were just wearing hats and white gloves because that\u2019s what society required of them,\u201d Voss continues. \u201cIt was really quite revolutionary. They found a way to play by the rules and get things done.\u201d<\/p>\n

Yet the growing feminist movement felt that women\u2019s issues were as important as the stories on newspapers\u2019 front pages. Gloria Steinem famously complained when she was profiled by a women\u2019s page editor\u2014though Voss notes that two years after Steinem spoke out against the women\u2019s page, she admitted that she had been wrong, that there was a place for women\u2019s pages.<\/p>\n
