Summary
In the 1960s, Lynn Povich was one of the lucky women, like Nora Ephron, Jane Bryant Quinn, Ellen Goodman, and Susan Brownmiller, to land a job at Newsweek, but it was a dead end - women researchers sometimes became reporters,… rarely writers, and never editors. On March 16, 1970, the day Newsweek published a cover story on the fledgling feminist movement, forty-six Newsweek women charged the magazine with discrimination. It was the first female class action lawsuit - the first by women journalists - and it inspired other women in the media to quickly follow suit. Includes strong language. 2012.
