AMERICAN JOURNALISM

VIRTUAL Event


Members:  $10     Non-Members:  $15

Join TTN for what is sure to be a fascinating Zoom talk about American women journalists. Our special guest, Brooke Kroeger, author and professor, will discuss her new book, UNDAUNTED: HOW WOMEN CHANGED AMERICAN JOURNALISM, a representative history of the American women who surmounted every impediment put in their way to do journalism’s most valued work. From Margaret Fuller’s improbable success to the highly paid reporters of the mid-nineteenth century to the breakthrough investigative triumphs of Nellie Bly, Ida Tarbell, and Ida B. Wells, Brooke Kroeger examines the lives of the best-remembered and long-forgotten woman journalists. Here as well is the collective fight for equity from the gentle stirrings of the late 1800s through the legal battles of the 1970s to the #MeToo movement and today’s racial and gender disparities.

With familiar names like Lesley Stahl, Maureen Dowd, and Barbara Walters and names some may be hearing for the first time, this story covers the landscape of American journalism like never before. Undaunted unveils the huge and singular impact women have had on a vital profession still dominated by men. 

As this is a TTN audience, Brooke will place a special focus on women who achieved their greatest triumphs in their second acts.
