Opis

Sylvia Porter (1913 1991) was the nation s first personal finance columnist and one of the most admired women of the twentieth century. In Sylvia Porter: America s Original Personal Finance Columnist, Lucht traces Porter s professional trajectory, identifying her career strategies and exploring the role of gender in her creation of a once-unique, now-ubiquitous form of journalism. A pioneer for both male and female journalists, Porter established a genre of newspaper writing that would last into the twenty-first century while carving a space for women in what had been an almost exclusively male field."
