- In Women and the Press, Patricia Bradley examines the tensions that have arisen over the course of tthe history of women who relate to journalism. From their first entrance into the commercial press as sentimental writers, to the present day, the call for gender equality has had special meaning for female journalists.

This is an account of how women in journalism sought to integrate the need for gender equality with the realities of the journalistic workplace.

- Description
- The author tells us about the social--and political--roles of women in America and about the relation of the first lady to the press and the public. Looking at the personal interaction between each first lady from Martha Washington to Laura Bush and the mass media of her day, Maurine H. Beasley traces the growth of the institution of the first lady as a part of the American political system. Her work shows how media coverage of first ladies, often limited to stereotypical ideas about women, has not adequately reflected the importance of their role.
