Washington women reporters in a male dominated press gallery
In Washington Daybook the series on Washington's women reporters notes the gatekeeping sign "Members and Press Only" at the Senate and House elevators. It recalls that in 1850 the first woman sat in the Senate gallery, and today 38 of 542 press gallery members are women. The piece highlights how women reporters persevere, though editors still reserve the big stories for men. It mentions Ned Brunson Harris as a trailblazer and sketches the varied paths of about 150 women reporters in the city.
