2 Edna Woolman Chase Quotes

"Edna Woolman Chase" (1877–1957) was editor in chief of Vogue (magazine)/Vogue magazine from 1914-1952.

Her first position at Vogue was working in the mail room. She eventually came to the attention of Mr. Turner, the editor at the time, who was responsible for her ascent up the corporate ladder and made her a consultant regarding the direction of the magazine, eventually giving Edna control over the magazine's layout.

During this time, Turner died and the magazine was in danger of closing. Chase went on the road to persuade people to keep reading the magazine. Shortly after Turner's death, Condé Montrose Nast/Condé Nast took over Vogue in 1909, and after evaluating Edna Chase's contributions to Vogue, he continued his predecessor's sponsorship of her continued prominence in the Vogue's magazine employment hierarchy. Edna became managing editor in 1911 which gave her complete control. By 1914, she was named editor in chief.
