What is the aim or goal of your writing: How pleasant to meet a charming journalist of a hundred or so years ago. The prolific Elia Peattie worked in Omaha, primarily for the World-Herald. Her style was neither fusty nor quaint, but informal and above all outspoken. She reported on the growing city, its neighborhoods, its inhabitants, and above all, its problems-poverty, prostitution, racism - not neglecting its folkways. She found weddings "stupid," especially for women, and the imperative of going into full mourning "nonsense." She was also a feminist, a founder of the Omaha Woman's Club, a serious reform organization.
