The authors have done a fine job in setting out the pros and cons
of media careers for women in a very accessible way. The writing is
friendly, but the research is thorough, with sources cited
throughout. The "Spotlight" sidebars from women professionals in
the field and the "Diva" concept are fresh and interesting.
Depending on your need, the book will work as a textbook for a
course on Gender and the Media, or as a supplemental work for and
Introduction to Mass Media.
