Description
The Women of Cantigny - Behind the Chicago Tribune Legacy. This program discusses the remarkable lives of Amy McCormick, Cissy Paterson and six others, tracing their roots to Joseph Medill and Robert R. McCormick, owners and editors of the Chicago Tribune. These women lived in a world of debutantes and flappers, but succeeded as Pulitzer Prize winners, record breaking pilots, progressive reformers in Washington, editors of their own newspapers, talented artists and more. Their achievements stand out even more in light that Medill or McCormick had male heirs. This program is presented by Laurie Russell and brought to you on behalf of the Robert R. McCormick Foundation.
