Women of the World: The Great Foreign Correspondents by Julia Edwards

3.0

This is mostly about women who covered the World Wars but there's a few correspondents from the 1800s and Korean/Vietnam/Latin American wars of the 1960s-1970s. How these women managed to file stories while sleeping under tables in military camps, surviving bombs, hitching truck rides across rural borders and narrowly escaping enemy capture is baffling to me! If only the author could have done a part II from the 1980s to 2010s, she'd be amazed at the shift in foreign reporting practices. Also this book is exclusively White so I wish there was even just one women of color featured but it's well researched for what it is.
