Christine Sadler

Christine Sadler (1908–1983), born in Silver Point, Tennessee, was an American author, journalist, and magazine editor.

Christine Sadler received her undergraduate degree at Peabody College, now an affiliate of Vanderbilt University, and her masters degree in journalism at Columbia University.

Originally a journalist for the Nashville Banner (1930-1936), she was a reporter, editor, and national news bureau staffer for The Washington Post from 1937 until 1946. Miss Sadler was the first woman to cover a national political convention for the Post. While continuing to write for the Post on a freelance basis for many years, she became Washington editor of McCall's magazine in 1944 and continued in that position for almost the next 30 years. She covered the White House for both The Washington Post, and McCall's, and authored two books, America's First Ladies and Children in the White House.

Sadler was married to Richard L. Coe, theater critic emeritus for The Washington Post.
