Since their emergence as a journalistic force after the world wars,
women have continued to break new ground in newspapers and
magazines, redefining the world as we see it as well as the craft
as it applied. Many of the pieces in "Journalistas feel almost
unsettlingly relevant today -- the conclusions Emma "Red" Goldman
drew in her 1916, "the Social Aspects of Birth Control," Maddy
Vegtel's 1930s article about becoming pregnant at forty, and
Eleanor Roosevelt's call for greater tolerance after America's race
riots in 1943. Many have pushed other limits: Naomi Wolf's "Beauty
Myth brought feminism to a new generation; Helen Fielding's
"Bridget Jones caused a media revolution: Ruth Picardie's
unflinchingly honest column about living with cancer in 1997
brought a wave of British candor and a host of imitators; and when
two iconic women come face to face, we have at one end, Dorothy
Parker on Isadora Duncan (1928), and at the other, Julie Burchill
on Margaret Thatcher (2004).
