Lenore Hershey was born in 1919 in the United States.
Mrs. Hershey received her education at Hunter College.
Mrs. Hershey began her career in the promotion department of The New York Herald Tribune and moved to McCall's in 1952. Hershey served as senior editor of McCall’s magazine for sixteen years. She then joined the staff of Ladies' Home Journal magazine as managing editor. She later rose to editor-in-chief several years after a feminist sit-in that called for a woman to serve in the top position of the women’s magazine. At the Journal, she wrote a column called “Editor’s Diary.”
In 1972 Mrs. Hershey's seminars on the role of women in the economy led to the creation of the Presidential Advisory Committee on the Economic Role of Women, on which she served.
Hershey became editorial director and president of the Charter Publishing Company in 1981, when she left her editorship. She lectured at Radcliffe College and participated in organizations such as the National Center for Voluntary Action and the Child Study Association.
Lenore's husband, Dr. Solomon G. Hershey, a professor of anesthesiology at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine, died in 1992. She is survived by her daughter, Jane Cuozzo of Manhattan.
