   Our Editress: Nebraska ' s First Female Newspaper Editor .
   From an orphaned Irish immigrant to the first female newspaper editor in Nebraska , Maggie Mobley née Guerin defied all the odds . As a highly educated young woman in the early days of Nebraska’s statehood , Maggie traveled alone after a failed marriage to central Nebraska to forge her own path . After joining forces with a former newspaper publisher , Maggie used her pen and keen intellect as the editor of the newspaper they established in 1870 . She was able to influence local and statewide politics , help build and grow a community , and become a statewide advocate before women had the right to vote .    
   Michelle Setlik is an educator and community historian with master’s degrees in History from University of Nebraska - Kearney and Management from Doane University . She serves as Associate Dean of Business and Entrepreneurship at Central Community College and is a history adjunct at UNK . Her family roots are deep with seven generations calling Hall County home . She is a Hall County Historical Society Board member , Nebraska State Historical Society Foundation trustee , a freelance journalist contributing historical articles to several publications , including the Grand Island Independent , and an active community volunteer devoting her time to historical preservation and education .
