Many of the pieces in Journalistas feel almost unsettlingly relevant today—the conclusions Emma Red Goldman drew in her 1916, the Social Aspects of Birth Control, Maddy Vegtels 1930s article about becoming pregnant at forty, and Eleanor Roosevelts call for greater tolerance after Americas race riots in 1943. Many have pushed other limits: Naomi Wolfs Beauty Myth brought feminism to a new generation- Helen Fieldings Bridget Jones caused a media revolution: Ruth Picardies unflinchingly honest column about living with cancer in 1997 brought a wave of British candor and a host of imitators- and when two iconic women come face to face, we have at one end, Dorothy Parker on Isadora Duncan (1928), and at the other, Julie Burchill on Margaret Thatcher (2004).
