What does the future hold for the women’s pages of national newspapers?
This year marks the 50th anniversary of the Guardian Women’s page, founded by the pioneering journalist Mary Stott. She was also its editor from 1957 to 1972 and created a new agenda for the female readers of a British newspaper. She believed that a steady stream of stories about fashion, cookery and housekeeping tips were not appropriate for modern women, so she brought to her pages a harder blend of politics, relationships and campaigns for social justice. So what role do women’s pages in national newspapers play today, and what is their future? Miriam O’Reilly discusses this with Sally Feldman, Dean of the School of Media, Arts and Design at the University of Westminster, and Daily Mail columnist Allison Pearson.The Guardian
