Brooke Kroeger is a journalist, professor emerita at NYU, and the author of six books, the latest of which is “Undaunted: How Women Changed America Journalism”, published by A.A. Knopf in May 2023.
Kroeger’s book explores how women have fared in American journalism’s most competitive and highly valued bastions, the ones men have dominated in the 180 years since mass media began.
One of Kroeger’s earlier books is “Nellie Bly: Daredevil, Reporter, Feminist” (1994, an NPR Best Books of the Year), the definitive Nellie Bly biography.
Brooke will explore the role of women in journalism, with special emphasis on Nellie Bly.
The presentation will be followed by a question/answer period. Birthday cake will conclude the program.
