This volume presents biographical information and award-winning works by American women
journalists earning the coveted Pulitzer Prize for International Reporting. It took about two
decades after the establishment of the awards that the first female was decorated with this
honor. Based on the jury reports of the prize-giving committees it is documented in this book
how the discussions within the judges went until decisions about winners were reached.
Heinz-Dietrich Fischer EdD PhD is Professor Emeritus at the Ruhr University of Bochum
