Not all of you can be a #GirlBoss. Some of you have to be a Girl Elevator Operator.
I grew up in the '60s and '70s; the idea of advertising jobs by sex is, unfortunately, not foreign to me. But I've been mystified by this one in a couple of directions. First, impressed they thought a female was qualified to operate an elevator. Second, confused why they would specifically be looking for one (this was not a single-sex hotel).

On my desktop I keep running across this hypnotic photo of blue-eyed Fern Jackson, Miss Syracuse of 1925. Sometimes faces from the past just look incredibly modern to me – like she couldn't possibly have lived a century ago.

It’s interesting to see how old newspapers functioned a bit like social media today.
