A fascinating account of 3 journalists lives in the 20th century - female pioneers. Amazing accounts of the work they did and the restless adventures including the Spanish civil war and World War II. Amazing. Thank you to the author. Thank you to #netgalley and the publisher for an ARC.

I knew relatively little about each of the women profiled in this book and am happy to now say I am familiar with each of them, as they are all badass, fascinating women. The way they reported on World War II and its aftermath was fascinating, and I loved all of the stories that Cooke has dug up. Her choices of profile subjects complement each other beautifully and provide a real lens onto the world at that time. I would love to hear her on Fresh Air or a books podcast speaking more about her research process!
