Abstract
Abstract: This article analyzes the wartime journalism of three female reporters for the Federated Press, a cooperative news service that provided copy to more than two hundred labor newspapers from 1919 to 1956. The essay demonstrates how WWII labor journalism fostered union women's increased visibility, promoted labor feminism, and groomed leadership for postwar social justice movements. I argue that by acknowledging the importance of working women in the labor movement and insisting on their rightful place in it, these journalists advanced the goals of working-class feminism, seeding a groundswell of middle-class feminism in the 1960s and 1970s.
