Battling for News: The Rise of the Woman Reporter
This study charts the story of how women have been reporting the news for the last 150 years, but not always on equal terms with men. From sister or wife taken along for the ride in Victorian times and grudgingly allowed to file an occasional story, this book recounts the development of the woman reporter. Anne Sebba is a former Reuters reporter who shows that the breakthrough came on the eve of World War II, and the book ends with the television reporters, of which the best-known is Kate Adie. Other books by Anne Sebba include "Enid Bagnold" and "Laura Ashley".
