First person female

Wallraff and Thompson became the main characters in my phd work, and I have studied them alongside contemporary Danish reporters (all of them male) who work in the same vein. So it is no coincidence that I mention Barbara Ehrenreich (Nickel and Dimed: On (Not) Getting By in America; Bait and Switch) in the blog decription above, or that now I hasten to add Polly Toynbee (Hard Work: Life in Low-Pay Britain) and Norah Vincent. It is done in order for me to make the New Blog's Resolution that I will discuss (and preferably with other people than myself) the self-presentation of some female reporters too! Perhaps while reading Norah Vincent's Self-Made Man (I don't even have a copy yet, but I have ordered one).
