"Front-page girls" is the term that the growing number of women reporters were called in a 1936 history (Ladies of the Press by Ishbel Ross). In what is presented as the first study of actual and fictional newspaperwomen at the turn of the 20th century, one-time reporter Lutes (English, Villanova U.) examines their roles as stunt reporters (e.g., Nelly Bly), "sob sisters," and agents and objects of emergent mass culture. She also treats the paradox that the same qualities that marginalized newspaperwomen in literature has made them popular characters in films and television, from Bette Davis in Front Page Woman (1935) to Sara Jessica Parker in Sex and the City (1999-2003). Period illustrations enhance the text. Annotation ©2007 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
