Description

Eileen M. Wirth never got down to be a groundbreaker for women in journalism, but if she wanted to report on social issues as a substitute of society news, she had no alternative. Her years as probably the most first women reporters on the Omaha World-Herald, covering gender barriers at the same time as she broke a couple of herself, give Wirth an especially apt standpoint on the women profiled in this book: those Nebraskans who, over a hundred years, challenged traditional feminine roles in journalism and subtly but undoubtedly changed the world.

The book features remarkable women journalists who worked in each venue, from rural weeklies to TV. They fought for the vote, better working conditions for immigrants, and food safety on the turn of the century. They covered wars from the Russian Revolution to Vietnam. They were White House reporters and minority journalists who crusaded for civil rights. Though Willa Cather is also the only household name among them, all are memorable, their stories affording a firsthand look into the history of journalism and social change.
