" Contemporary praise for Black named her "the world's most famous feature writer" and "one of the world's most successful reporters," while her critics affixed the pejorative labels "stunt girl" and "sob sister." This study covers her influential careerand gives the first serious attention to her journalism and nonfiction"--
This is a biography of journalist Winifred Black (1863–1936), byline Annie Laurie, who was, at the time, the best-known newswoman in America. Despite the fact that she receives almost no credit for it, Black developed the American genre of nonfiction for fifty years throughout her career, during which she wrote approximately ten thousand short pieces and three books. As she experimented with and applied nonfiction techniques, such as scene-by-scene construction, full dialogue, point-of-view, and recording evocative details, Black reported and explored the realities facing women in her time.
