- Abstract
The article discusses the history of efforts by women to achieve equal employment opportunities and pay for jobs in the American press and news media industries. The Civil Rights Act of 1964, the establishment of the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, and the the Equal Employment Opportunity Act of 1972 all opened organizations such as Time Inc., "Newsweek," and "Reader's Digest," to class-action legal suits for violations such as unequal pay and lack of access to senior management positions.
