Normally journalism bores me, but this book is fascinating because these women were seriously bad-asses documenting the various locales of war in the 1930-1940's.

The Women Who Wrote the War is about female reporters & correspondents who went above & beyond to get into the thick of things to report the truth of the war - often disobeying their bosses to do so.
This was a highly interesting & important read, but I feel as though the way it's written could have been a little better. I also wish the author would have given more details about their personal lives instead of just skimming the surface. Still a great read overall.

Reading Rush 2020: A book on a different continent
I'd probably give this closer to a 3.5. It's informational, easy to read and covers a lot. The issue I have with this is that it doesn't go into enough detail information about hardly anything. It is more like little snippets of their stories. Which is fine, but not the type of history or non fiction books I prefer. I know it was about a few women, but it still hopes all over the place too much. The writing was not dry though, which is amazing for a book of this nature.
