THE WOMEN WHO WROTE THE WAR

The stories of the women reporters who covered World War II

From Publisher:

The bravery of the women who served as combat correspondents in World War II -- whether snapping photographs from bombers or interviewing wounded soldiers just returned from battle -- was matched only by their determination to overcome the sexist attitudes and double standards that were the rule in many newsrooms. Now Atlantic Monthly contributor Nancy Caldwell Sorel gives these amazing women their due in this collection of profiles that pays tribute to such groundbreaking reporters as Martha Gellhorn, Margaret Bourke-White, and Lee Miller, along with dozens of others who brought an original sensibility to the world of war reporting. Their stories and their accomplishments offer a fresh perspective on the history of World War II, and form a crucial link in the long chain of women's struggle for full equality.
