Non-Fiction Biography
Sylvia Porter (1913-1991) was the nation's first personal
finance columnist and one of the most admired women of the
twentieth century. In Sylvia Porter: America's Original
Personal Finance Columnist, Lucht traces Porter's
professional trajectory, identifying her career strategies
and exploring the role of gender in her creation of a
once-unique, now-ubiquitous form of journalism. A pioneer
for both male and female journalists, Porter established a
genre of newspaper writing that would last into the
twenty-first century while carving a space for women in what
had been an almost exclusively male field.
