Known forbeing a pioneering woman journalist

Ethel Simpson (2 September 1926 – 12 December 2017) was a pioneering Scottish journalist. She worked to break down gendered barriers within journalism and was one of the first female chief reporters at the Aberdeen Press and Journal.[1]

Early life

Ethel was born in Banff on 2 September 1926 to a farming family.[2] She attended Keithhall Primary School and then Inverurie Academy. After completing a shorthand typing course at Webster's College, she joined the Aberdeen Press and Journal in 1944 at age seventeen.[2]

Career

Ethel then became a Junior Reporter for the Aberdeen Press and Journal in 1945, the first woman to do so.[3] In 1955 and 1956, Ethel spent three months on a 10,000 tour of North Africa, writing about her travels.[1] She worked her way up, eventually becoming the Chief Reporter of the Journal in 1975.[1] Ethel pressed for gender equality in the newsroom, and protested when a female reporter was told to go home and change into a skirt.[4] She retired in 1986.[4]

Personal life

Ethel had a daughter, Emma, and two grandsons.[2] She was a staunch royalist and Conservative.[2]
