WOMEN IN JOURNALISM.

The number of women journalists
in Columbia this week impress us
with the importance of women in
journalism. Four women editors will
give addresses, and four women prom
inent as special writer's will speak.
Tomorrow afternoon the Missouri
Women Press Association will meet.
This is an organization of the women
writer's in Missouri.
Journalism is the one field where
the new woman" cannot claim the
pioneership. Women were engaged in
newspaper and literary work long be-
fore the feminist movement started.
The first newsboy was a news woman.
Mrs. Strosse. Mrs. Strosse sold the
first English newspaper on the streets
of London in the year lb23. In 1902
The London Daily Courant, a one leaf
newspaper, had a woman editor. In
1927 Mrs. Sarah ]. Hale, the first
American woman journalist, estab-
lished the Boston Ladies' Magazine
Again, literary work is the one pro-
fession where women are paid equally
as well as men. The quality of the
work determines the pay, and the
name of a man or a woman at the top
Of the article makes no difference in
the size of the check.
