All Interviews

The interviewees fall into three professional generations:

  • women who began their careers prior to 1942;
  • women who became journalists between the beginning of the World War II and the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964;
  • and women whose careers developed after 1964.

The interviewees for the project were chosen to reflect diversity in race, locale, and type of job in journalism. Other criteria included the woman's importance in her field; the perceived excellence of her work; her connection with people and events of historical significance; and her impact on the careers of other women, on the broader field of journalism, on her own institution, and on the wider community. At the request of the interviewee names with asterisks (*) will not be available on-line.
