Through Her Eyes: Australia’s Women Correspondents from Hiroshima to Ukraine edited by Melissa Roberts and Trevor Watson

Book Description

Secondhand. Very good condition. Minor wear to book corners and edges. Interior and binding are still excellent.

In Through Her Eyes, Australian women correspondents tell their own stories from the frontline, covering breaking news, issues, and events that are changing the world. They tell of Russian tanks and Ukrainian mothers fleeing with their children, vicious Afghan warlords, anti-government rebels in Central Africa, terrorist attacks in the United States, and the chaos faced by ordinary people caught up in disasters and political upheaval.

While a woman strapping on a reporter’s flak jacket is now a common sight, there was a time when they were locked out of the big stories because of their gender. Unlike their male counterparts, they needed single-minded determination to score a plum assignment or win a posting to a foreign bureau.

It includes well-known women correspondents for major media organisations inside and outside Australia, including the ABC, BBC, SBS, CNN, The Associated Press of America, UPI, Reuters, The Times of London, Al Jazeera, China Global Television Network, The Australian, The Sydney Morning Herald, The Age, and the Australian Financial Review.
