One diverse journalistic group are the women. One mostly sees men being the writers of articles, or men anchoring, but there are many women who deserve recognition.
Elizabeth Timothy: On January 4, 1739 she became the publisher of the South Carolina Gazette when her husband died. She was the " first female in the American colonies to assume the role of publisher of a newspaper."
Anne Newport Royall: "The first American newspaper women," began her newspaper career when she was 51, after becoming the publisher of what would be renamed, "The Huntress."
Sarah Joseph Hale: Began her career at 30. She became the first female editor of Godey's Lady Book. This was a magazine delivered monthly about morality issues, literature, and fashions.
These are only a few of the important women in journalism history.
