Paying Tribute to a Trailblazing Female Journalist
One-time Toronto Globe and Mail reporter Betty Lee was 93.
This week’s warm remembrance of Australian-born journalist Betty Lee, who passed away earlier this month at age 93 in Toronto, appears in the paper where she made her most lasting contributions, the Globe and Mail. It was penned by another very capable Toronto-based writer, Lisa Fitterman.
Lee began making her mark at the Globe and Mail in 1959, when she returned from a six-year undocumented professional stint in New York City. From Fitterman’s obituary:
Over the years, Lee wrote numerous important features and series, including one in 1963 about Arthur Lucas, a soft-spoken giant of a man with a long criminal history who, with Ronald Turpin, had been hanged at Toronto’s Don Jail the year before.
