On this Administrative Professionals’ Day, a photo of our author Lynn Povich—who became the first woman senior editor at Newsweek—back when she was a researcher in the Paris office. Lynn’s book, The Good Girls Revolt: How the Women of Newsweek Sued their Bosses and Changed the Workplace, comes out in September.
And we are the NEWSWEEK women who, 40 years after that lawsuit, wrote about what had — and hadn’t — changed for women at NEWSWEEK. Can’t wait to see the full book.
LISTEN: Not Your Mother’s Sexism
Forty years ago, a group of women sued Newsweek magazine for sex discrimination. On this edition of WNYC’s Brian Lehrer show, Jessica Bennett, senior Newsweek writer, and Lynn Povich, the magazine’s first female senior editor, reflect on the suit.
Our Jessica Bennett, and Newsweek’s first ever female senior editor, Lynn Povich, on the CBS Early Show. (And check the hilarious stock footage!)
