"There were no women reporters." This shows how far ahead of her time Eleanor Roosevelt was, who insisted on holding press conferences only for women reporters, in the 1930s.

Katherine owned Newsweek but there were no women reporters!?

Katharine Graham describes in her memoir that since Newsweek had been acquired by the Post Company, it had mostly male reporters and that eventually several women sued the company for discrimination. It was an era of consciousness raising for everyone!
