In 1898 Arnold Bennett in his Journalism for Women: A Practical Guide asked the question, ‘Is there any sexual reason why a woman should be a less accomplished journalist than a man?’ and, for the time, bravely answered, ‘I can find none.’ Anne Sebba, in her introduction, describes her book thus: ‘what follows is an account of what many women have witnesses in the last 150 years . It is also an account of the battles women have fought in order to be able to tell these stories . The women in this book have reported much more than just war. They have investigated many a horror of peacetime society from prostitution, drug abuse and sexual deviation to riots, strikes and criminal trials.’ From Miss Wreford in Italy at the time of the Risorgimento and Lady Florence Dixie in South Africa during the Boer War to mould-breakers such as Clare Hollingworth, Virginia Cowles and Martha Gellhorn in the 1930s to Kate Adie in Yugoslavia and Tienanmen Square in the 1990s, Anne Sebba recounts the exciting development of the woman reporter.
