バイオグラフィー
Anne Mollegen Smith is journalist, editor, blogger, and poet. Born Anne Rush Mollegen in Meridian, Mississippi, Smith is the daughter of two writers. Her father was a religious scholar who wrote on Christian philosophy and her mother edited a society column for a local Meridian newspaper. She was raised in Alexandria, Virginia, where she attended St. Agnes School. At Smith College, she earned a B.A. in English literature. After graduating from Smith, she was hired as an assistant editor for Ladies' Home Journal. Before long she was hired as an associate editor at Redbook and eventually rose through ranks to become the magazine's first woman editor-in-chief after 78 years of publication. She would later go to serve as a top editor at Working Woman, Glamour, McCall's, and several start-up publications. As editor-in-chief at Working Woman, the magazine published a groundbreaking study on workplace harassment in 1989, which was instrumental in the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1991 that expanded protections for employees against unfair treatment and discrimination. Smith writes on a wide variety topics including human rights, personal finance, career planning, and country music.
