Check it out: Article-Link Summary: Daisy Bacon (1898–1986) was an American pulp fiction magazine editor and writer, best known as the editor of Love Story Magazine from 1928 to 1947. She was hired in 1926 to assist with “Friends in Need”, an advice column in the magazine, by Street & Smith, a major pulp magazine publisher. Two years later she was promoted to editor. Love Story was one of the most successful pulp magazines, and Bacon was frequently interviewed about her role and her opinions of modern romance. Street & Smith gave Bacon other magazines to edit, including Ainslee’s in the mid-1930s and Pocket Love in the late 1930s. From 1940 to 1947 she took over as editor of Romantic Range, which featured love stories set in the American West, and in 1941 she was also given the editorship of Detective Story. In late 1948 she became the editor of both The Shadow and Doc Savage, but Street & Smith shut down all their pulps the following April.
