Newsgirls: Gutsy Pioneers in Canada's Newsrooms 

Toronto author, freelance writer and former Toronto Star reporter, Donna Jean Mackinnon, documents the lives of 10 leading female reporters who started their careers during newspaper's Golden Age. MacKinnon's fascinating, often amusing, presentation includes a slew of vintage photos and intimate anecdotes. Trailblazers in their fields, these adventurous 'newshens', as they were once called, covered every beat from art openings, fashion, crime, politics to major social issues of the day.
