In the years after the Civil Rights Act of 1964, women in the workplace still found themselves relegated to secretarial positions or locked out of jobs entirely. This was especially true in the news business, a backwater of male chauvinism where a woman might be lucky to get a foothold on the “women’s pages.” But when a pioneering nonprofit called National Public Radio came along in the 1970s, and the door to serious journalism opened a crack, four remarkable women came along and blew it off its hinges. "Susan, Linda, Nina and Cokie" is journalist Lisa Napoli’s captivating account of these four women, their deep and enduring friendships and the trail they blazed.
About the Author: Lisa Napoli is a native of Brooklyn and graduate of Hampshire College in Amherst, Massachusetts. Before escaping daily journalism, Lisa worked at a variety of news outlets including the New York Times' "CyberTimes," MSNBC and the public radio show "Marketplace," covering everything from presidential campaigns, artists in Los Angeles, the Waco hostage standoff, an outdoor hacker convention and the then-emerging culture of the Internet and digital technology. Along with "Susan, Linda, Nina and Cokie," Lisa has also written "Radio Shangri-La," "Ray & Joan" and "Up All Night."
