SAN FRANCISCO. April 90
Virginia Brastow. 70. one Of the
Nations first women newspaper
editors. died at her San Francisco
home Monday.
Miss Brastow, born in San Fran
cisco. created a sensation in news
paper circles when she won a job
as city editor of the San Francisco
Bulletin in 1900. Few women in
those days worked for newspapers
and the idea of woman city ed

the usual men-only policy.
The famous editor who gave her
the job, Fremont Older, recalled
in a column he wrote 80 years
later how Miss Brastow was hired.
She kept coming into the Office
even though she was not on the
payroll. One day a big story broke
and she was the only person
around. She handled the assign
ment so well that he hired her
on the spot.
In 1882, she wrote a book about
San Francisco's growth. The book
