These women war correspondents were talented journalists and photographers, possessed of grit and determination. Their photos and clips of their headline stories bear witness to their work and the dangers they endured as Colman skillfully intertwines explanations of the events they covered and the work they produced. The book also explores gender discrimination in the news media. Bib., ind.
