Sensational: The Hidden History of America's "girl Stunt Reporters", by Kim Todd

4.0

Maggi-Meg Reed does a fantastic job narrating this history of female reporters of the Gilded Age (Nellie Bly probably being the most well-known). I found some of the sections more interesting than others, but all these women trailblazers deserve to be remembered and lauded for their amazing contributions to journalism, especially considering how belittled and harassed they were not only in their own time, but how the history of journalism has often written them out of the picture or downplayed their achievements. I have to say that it was rather dry at times; if I had read this with my eyes instead of my ears I think it would have felt like more of a slog. 3.5 stars, rounded up.
