Jean Bergantini Grillo was the Cambridge and Boston
Phoenix's Senior Editor from its first issue in 1969 through 1972. When the original
staff of the Phoenix was let go after the paper's sale in the summer of 1972, Grillo
helped start The Real Paper with the rest of the fired staff. While at the Phoenix,
Grillo was an art critic and covered feminist issues and activism. She graduated
from Rhode Island College in 1966 with a degree in English and after working at the
Phoenix, continued an active career as a journalist, art critic, television writer
and playwright.
The Jean Bargantini Grillo Collection contains a complete run
of the Phoenix from its first issue as the Cambridge Phoenix in 1969 until the
original staff moved to the Real Paper in 1972. There are also several early issues
of The Real Paper until Grillo left the paper in late 1972. There is also a small
group of reporter's notebooks used by Grillo in 1971 and 1972, index cards from her
rolodex, and a proof for a political cartoon created for the Phoenix by William D.
Steele.
