An Unladylike Profession by Chris Dubbs6/30/2023 ![]() ![]() Women journalists traveled from belligerent capitals to the front lines to report on the conflict. ![]() As Dubbs shows, stories by these journalists brought in women from the periphery of war and made them active participants-fully engaged and equally heroic, if bearing different burdens and making different sacrifices. ![]() But that did not stop dozens of women reporters from stepping into the breach, defying gender norms and official restrictions to establish roles for themselves-and to write new kinds of narratives about women and war.Ĭhris Dubbs tells the fascinating stories of Edith Wharton, Nellie Bly, and more than thirty other American women who worked as war reporters. When World War I began, war reporting was a thoroughly masculine bastion of journalism. ![]()
