The book addresses the unique challenges and opportunities women face in the field of journalism, emphasizing that competency in writing should not be inherently different between genders. It provides practical advice on various aspects of journalism and critiques common misconceptions about women journalists' capabilities. The content of the book outlines a thoughtful examination of the state of journalism as it pertains to women, pointing out the need for greater seriousness and technical skill in writing. Bennett discusses the key skills necessary for success, such as clarity in composition, understanding editorial policies, and the significance of both non-topical and topical articles. He also emphasizes that the aspirant should develop an eye for spotting interesting stories in everyday life and advises on how to engage with editors effectively. Throughout, Bennett critiques the existing state of women's writing in journalism, urging female aspirants to hone their skills and contribute meaningfully to the craft, asserting that their work has as much potential for excellence as that of their male counterparts.
