Journalistas: 100 Years of the Best Writing and… par Eleanor Mills
I think this book is too British-and-American-focused. Are there really no women reporters in Canada or Australia or in other countries with English-language newspapers that wrote excellent articles? Also, the editor included one of her own pieces in the book, which seems a bit presumptuous to me. I liked the material a lot, but the narrow scope bothered me.

A great read from the start just loved it. Women in a man's world becoming what they are today, powerful women in there respected fields. From war to crime to sex to family to society to icons and more these women go all the way to get the story they want. Just loved it a great read.
This delicious volume spans a century of journalistic writing -- all pieces penned by women. Organized into five rather trite categories, the pieces explore war, homelife, health, and popular culture. The collection is very American-Brit heavy, as the editors decided to go with pieces that were originally written in English. The articles are just gems -- as is this collection.
