Book Review: You Don’t Belong Here
This is another book I found out about on Book TV. You Don’t Belong Here: How Three Women Rewrote the Story of War by journalist Elizabeth Becker is about three groundbreaking women journalists who covered the Vietnam War. I was intrigued by this book because I don’t remember learning about any of these women in journalism school.
I even took a foreign correspondence class and the history of women journalists was very limited. While I never wanted to cover war, I briefly had an interest in becoming a foreign correspondent when I was in college. At that time, there weren’t many female correspondents who covered war, except Christiane Amanpour.
I ended up taking a slight detour into marketing communications for international NGOs.
So, it was really cool to read this. If I had known about these women in school, I might have had a different career trajectory!
