| Found in | nuc85-75166: Her View from a column, 1981 (hdg. on ViU rept.: Whitehorn, Katharine E.; usage: Katharine Whitehorn) Guardian WWW site, viewed Jan. 13, 2021 (Katharine Whitehorn; Katharine Elizabeth Whitehorn, journalist and writer, born 2 March 1928; died 8 January 2021. In the column she contributed to the Observer from 1963 until 1996, Katharine Whitehorn, who has died aged 92, did much to revolutionise the journalism that women wrote and read. She then became the agony aunt for Saga magazine's million readers over 50, answering their questions in her witty prose for 20 years from 1997, and also returned to the Observer from 2011. A defining image of her adorned the cover of Whitehorn's Social Survival (1968): the author in sparkling party mode, showing how to hold a bag, gloves, plate, cigarette, drink and fork in one hand, while leaving the other free "for shaking". By the 1980s she had published a clutch of How to Survive handbooks--Children, in Hospital, in the Kitchen and Your Money Problems--as well as selections of her acclaimed journalism. Graduated in English from Newnham College, Cambridge) |
