EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, a young and determined Suzy Menkes, born in 1943, is seen at the age of 22, sitting at a typewriter in her modest student room at Newnham College, Cambridge. The year is 1966, and Suzy had made history by becoming the first female editor of the Cambridge University student newspaper, Varsity, in its 34-year history. The swinging 1960s were a time of cultural revolution and social change, and Suzy's achievement was a testament to her passion for journalism and her unwavering commitment to breaking gender barriers. With a typewriter as her trusted companion, she crafted stories that resonated with her fellow students and the wider university community. The photograph captures Suzy in the midst of her work, her intense focus evident as she types away at her manuscript. The room is adorned with the trappings of student life - books, papers, and a map of the world on the wall. The atmosphere is one of quiet determination, as Suzy sets the pace for a career that would see her become the lead fashion writer for the International Herald Tribune in 1988. Suzy's journey from student editor to international fashion journalist is a testament to her tenacity and her love for storytelling. This photograph is a snapshot of a pivotal moment in her life, a moment that would shape her future and inspire generations of women to pursue their dreams. As we look at this image, we are transported back to the 1960s, a time of change and innovation, and we are reminded of the power of a typewriter, a room, and a young woman's determination to make her mark on the world.
