ABSTRACT
As mass media developed in the twentieth century, so did women’s roles within them.In the early 1900s, women held infl uential positions at women’s MAGAZINES and on women’s sections of newspapers. Many magazines had woman editors; for example, Vogue has only had woman editors since its 1892 beginning. In 1900, 2,193 of 30,098 JOURNALISTS in the United States were female, according to the Census. By 1910, the number of women in writing or editing jobs doubled. This early precedent allowed women to gain a foothold in most mass media.
