War being an equal opportunity employer, scores of women joined the procession of men traveling as war correspondents during the ’s and early ’s.
High on the list of great unanswered questions is whether women and men, apart from physique, really differ all that much. For journalists, a spin-off question is how news coverage changes, if at all, as women more fully integrate the field.
The women were gutsy risk-takers lusting for adventures in the jungles of Southeast Asia. Together, they transformed the role of women as war correspondents from something unheard of to being the norm.
