In the opening decades of the 20th century, war reporting remained
one of the most well-guarded, thoroughly male bastions of
journalism. However, when war erupted in Europe in August 1914, a
Boston woman, Mary Boyle O'Reilly, became one of the first
journalists to bring the war to American newspapers. A Saturday
Evening Post journalist, Mary Roberts Rinehart, became the first
journalist, of any country, of any gender, to visit the trenches.
These women were only the first wave of female journalists who
covered the conflict. American Women Report World War I collects
more than 35 of the best of their articles and those that highlight
the richness of their contribution to the history of the Great War.
Editor Chris Dubbs provides section introductions for background
and context to stories such as 'Woman Writer Sees Horrors of
Battle,' 'Star Woman Runs Blockade,' and 'America Meets France.'
The work of female journalists focuses more squarely on individuals
caught in the conflict - including themselves. It offers a valuable
counterpoint to the male, horror-of-the-trenches experience and
demonstrates how World War I served as a catalyst that enabled
women to expand the public forum for their opinions on social and
moral issues.
