Biographical Note

Irene Wilson was editor of Civic News for 16 years from the 1960s until 1976. Before working for Civic News, Irene Wilson received degrees from Wellesley College and Harvard University, and taught college English. She lived in Montana for a period of time, working as a cowboy and writing poetry and fiction for magazines. When Wilson moved back east, she found an apartment in Manhattan. Wilson moved to Park Slope when she learned her apartment building was to be demolished along with Penn Station. Her friend and Park Slope Civic Council trustee, Bob Makla, found Wilson the apartment in Park Slope and asked Wilson to write for Civic News. Wilson also held a Guest Editor position before taking on the role of Editor. Irene Wilson died in December 1983.
