Kim Todd on the 'Girl Stunt Reporters' of the Gilded Age
In the late 19th century, women reporters went undercover in places like insane asylums, textile factories, abortion clinics, and even the circus to expose the corruption and poor conditions in which people lived and worked. They were called "Girl Stunt Reporters" and many have been forgotten despite their groundbreaking journalism.
But in her new book Sensational, Kim Todd brings back to life the exciting stories of these pioneering women whose influence is still felt today. On the pod, she talks about who these women were, how they got so popular, and why they ultimately fell out of the public's favor.
