Invisible Stars was the first book to recognize that women have
always played an important part in American electronic media. The
emphasis is on social history, as the author skillfully explains
how the changing role of women in different eras influenced their
participation in broadcasting. This is not just the story of radio
stars or broadcast journalists, but a social history of women both
on and off the air. Beginning in the early 1920s with the emergence
of radio, the book chronicles the ambivalence toward women in
broadcasting during the 1930s and 1940s, the gradual change in
status of women in the 1950s and 1960s, the increased presence of
women in broadcasting in the 1970s, and the successes of women in
broadcasting in the 1980s and 1990s. The second edition is expanded
to include the social and political changes that occurred in the
2000s, such as the growing number of women talk show hosts;
changing attitudes about women in leadership roles in business;
more about minority women in media; and women in sports and women
sports announcers. The author addresses the question of whether
women are in fact no longer invisible in electronic media. She
provides an assessment of where progress for women (in society as
well as broadcasting) can be seen, and where progress appears
totally stalled.
