"Reporting Under Fire" from journalist Kerrie Logan Hollihan

 

 In her new book for young readers, Reporting Under Fire: 16 Daring Women War Correspondents and Photojournalists, Kerrie Logan Hollihan profiles the lives of 16 trailblazing female war correspondents. These journalists not only risked their lives to bring back scoops from the front lines, they also faced the cultural assumptions made about their abilities based solely on their gender. Kerrie Logan Hollihan joins us to discuss her book, and the lives of these pioneering journalists.
