- Description
- Focus on the role of female journalists at the turn of the 20th century. Lutes describes the imaginative exchange between real-life reporters, such as Nellie Bly and Ida B. Wells, and fictional characters such as Henriette Stackpole, the lady correspondent in Henry James's Portrait of a Lady. Lutes discusses newspaper accounts written by women, fictional portrayals of female journalists and the work of reporters-turned-novelists, such as Willa Cather and Duna Barnes.
