Abstract

Fascinating account of the women who covered the second world war and the obstacles they encountered to pave the way for the future of woman journalism. I do not usually read this type of non-fiction but after reading two novels regarding this subject I felt compelled to research the source. I found the material at times a little unnerving, nothing that has not been documented before, but told with such compassion and from this particular point of view took on new meaning and new understanding.

I believe that the author approached her subject(s) with a journalists non-judgmental attitude. Just report the facts. Yet, these woman came alive for me and I was in awe of their courage and determination to get to 'where the action was happening" and to hell to whoever got in their way!
