Sallie Joy White (1847-1909) was an American journalist. In 1870 she became the first woman staff reporter on a Boston newspaper when she was hired by the Boston Post, and she continued to write for local newspapers until her death in 1909. She co-founded the New England Woman's Press Association, and was an officer in several national press groups. White was a strong supporter of women's suffrage and women's education. In addition to her regular work as a journalist, she wrote and lectured on the subject of career paths for women.... After taking a home economics course in the 1880s, she wrote two books for women about housekeeping and cooking.... two years later, she published her own book on the subject, Business Openings for Girls.
