Let\u2019s go back 70 years or so and I\u2019ll show you what it was like being a \u201cgirl reporter.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n

My father, a famous criminal lawyer, is far ahead of his time in believing girls must be able to earn a living. We are sitting in his study looking into my future and he asks me about my all too vivid imagination. \u201cIs this the mark of a writer?\u201d<\/p>\n

A writer! Oh, yes<\/em>, I say to myself.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou know,\u201d he continues, \u201cDickens started out as a reporter, and Kipling went to India for a newspaper.\u201d<\/p>\n

I interrupt sadly, \u201cOh, Papa, girls can\u2019t work on newspapers.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cA few do,\u201d he says. \u201cMore will. Women are a gold mine of talent.\u201d<\/p>\n

His friend, publisher William Randolph Hearst, agrees, and there I am, barely 18, in the all-male city room of the Los Angeles Herald<\/em>. Where city editor J. B. T. Campbell regards a newspaperwoman<\/em> as a contradiction in terms.<\/p>\n

The pace he sets for me\u2014chasing fire engines, riding ambulances, viewing corpses, covering murders\u2014makes me long for Grandma\u2019s kitchen. The newspapermen<\/em> are betting on how long I’ll last.<\/p>\n

Nobody\u2019s on my team and I\u2019m scared all the time\u2014of deadlines, of having to write so fast. I want to be a reporter, I believe I can grow into a writer, I pray to God that I can be both\u2014but Campbell has almost won.<\/p>\n

Then, I interview the sister of the Wright brothers who have invented the airplane. And Katherine tells of the heartbreaking years when they were ridiculed in their hometown of Dayton, Ohio.<\/p>\n

Simple bicycle mechanics, these \u201cboys\u201d over 30 spent their days messing with kites, gliders, an engine all smoke and noise. College professors had proved positively that men would never fly, yet Wilbur and Orville kept revising and retesting this \u201cflying machine\u201d that couldn\u2019t work. Their sister says to me simply, \u201cAnd then, one day, it flew.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Those words went back to the city room with me. They kept me from quitting then\u2014or ever. Eventually came my first scoop, my first by-line, my first short story, my first book.<\/p>\n

In each pioneer endeavor I met challenges. We all do, whether aiming at the moon, or building a better mousetrap, or attempting a difficult recipe or dress pattern. I\u2019ve had disappointments. Stories rejected, souffles that fell flat.<\/p>\n

But with each failure I’ve been able to chuckle a little, knowing that eventually, with patience and prayer, I could look back and say, \u201cAnd then, one day, it flew!\u201d<\/p>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
