Pioneer female journalist Lunzer dies

SEATTLE (AP) -- Jean Hudson Lunzer, a reporter and editor who pioneered women's rights at newspapers, has died of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, commonly known as Lou Gehrig's disease. She was 75.

Lunzer spent 37 years at the P-I. She started as a woman's department reporter, then began to specialize in home furnishings and design. She edited the paper's Weekender magazine for several years and was the P-I's travel writer for 14 years before her retirement in 1985.

A member and past president of the Pacific Northwest Newspaper Guild, Lunzer was instrumental in getting women reporters equal pay with men.
