History

edit

The founder and publisher of Vermont Woman, a monthly newspaper, was Suzanne (Sue) Gillis.[3][4][5] Gillis financially backed the paper.[6] In 1990, the paper was shut down due to financial challenges. Gillis then went on to become the founding publisher for the community weekly newspaper, Vermont Times.[7] In 1995, Gillis became the founding publisher of the award-winning community weekly, Provincetown Banner.[8][9] Thirteen years later, in 2003, Vermont Woman was re-launched by Gillis.[10] The paper has since won a number of awards, including the New England Newspapers and Publishers Association's designation of New England Newspaper of the Year in 2007,[11] 2008,[12] and in 2011.[13]

In 2010, Gillis was inducted in the New England Newspapers Hall of Fame for her commitment to independent publishing and for providing a forum for women's voices and perspectives.[14] Rickey Gard Diamond, was the first editor of the paper, which launched in 1985 with 44 pages and an initial circulation of 20,000.[15] In 2012, long-time editor Rickey Gard Diamond and Vermont Woman, won a national award from the National Newspapers Association, 3rd place in the category of Best Investigative or In-Depth Story or Series, Non-daily Division, circulation 10,000 or more.[16]

Vermont Woman published its final issue on September 9, 2019.[17][18][19][20]

Vermont Woman hosted a lecture series from 1986 to 2009.[21] This series featured speakers like Ann Richards,[22] Valerie Plame Wilson,[23] Gloria Steinem, and Helen Thomas.[24]
