The remarkable tale of three exceptional female journalists who permanently broke down the official and cultural barriers to women covering war is revealed in this text, which has been expanded by 130% to 150%. Australian iconoclast Kate Webb, French daredevil photographer Catherine Leroy, and blue-blood American intellectual Frances FitzGerald traveled to Vietnam with very different life experiences but a common goal: to cover the most important story of the decade. These women defied societal expectations by paying their own way to war, arriving without jobs, challenging military rules, and overcoming the belittlement and resentment of their male colleagues. They sought new ways to convey the human experience of the war through the people who lived it. In her book, You Don't Belong Here, Elizabeth Becker draws on the work and lives of these women to provide a comprehensive and illuminating account of the Vietnam War. She delves into the American buildup, the Tet Offensive, the expansion into Cambodia, the American defeat, and its aftermath. Becker herself arrives in the war's final years, writing as both a historian and a witness to the extraordinary achievements of these women. What emerges is an unforgettable story of three journalists carving out their place in a male-dominated field, often at great personal sacrifice, and forever transforming the craft of war reporting. This deeply researched and empathetic work fills a significant gap in the history of women and war, offering a profound insight into the experiences and contributions of these trailblazing journalists.
