Helen Honig Meyer

Helen Honig Meyer (1907–2003) was the president of Dell Publishing from the 1950s until 1976. Meyer began working at Dell Publishing only two years after its creation, and was influential in building up both the traditional book publishing arm and the popular Dell Comics imprint. As the first woman to head a major American publishing house, Meyer inspired many other women who were breaking into publishing in the forties and fifties, and more generally shaped American publishing through her leadership of Dell.
