Zustand: VERY GOOD. First edition. The first book in this popular, and now quite hard-to-find, series. Foreword by Helen Rogers Reid which addresses the inequality in attitude when it comes to hiring young women versus young men, even when the woman is as or more qualified. In 1911, the author, Emma Bugbee, was the first woman hired by the New York Herald as a reporter, and she worked there for 55 years. Her assignment was to cover a weeks-long march of suffragists from New York City to Albany. She was also a founder of the Newspaper Women's Club of New York, and one of just a "few prominent female reporters who sought to expand the role of women in the male-dominated world of journalism that existed when she began her career. She was best known for her intimate coverage of Eleanor Roosevelt, beginning in 1933 amidst the early days of President Franklin D. Roosevelt's terms of office and ending with a reminiscence of the former First Lady, written on the day of her death in 1962." Frontispiece, illustrated endpapers. x, 270 pp. Very good in ivory colored cloth with black and red lettering, no dust jacket (some light soiling to covers).
