Reviews
The Washington Post : "It's worth reading The News Sorority as both a handbook of cutthroat office politics and a cautionary tale. These women brought ego, ambition and a willingness to play just as rough as the boys to the newsrooms-and made history because of that." Chicago Tribune (Liz Smith) " [D]aring, dashing... Sheila Weller has written "the" book of the year on TV broadcasting , a thing that may be a dying, rapidly changing art form, but it''s definitely still going to need voices and faces and intelligence giving out the news no matter how much our socially gadget-manipulated changing world changes. There will always be stars and TV has had them in spades... This is a terrific book . I marked mine so many times, it is virtually unreadable. Believe me, if you like history and gossip and believe, like I do, that gossip IS history -- you will love reading about the big three ." Vanity Fair : " Weller rivetingly recounts these gutsy ladies'' time on the front lines of domestic and international war zones, political battlefields, and live morning television; the prejudices they''ve faced; the personal sacrifices made and losses suffered, as well as the backlashes that followed their every gain, fueling their ambition and building their resilience. Weller''s portrait of how these extraordinary women, in the words of Sawyer, turn "pain into purpose" is an inspiration for future generations of journalists ." New York Daily News "This immensely readable book made headlines before publication for its irresistible gossip . It is dishy, but it's also a close up and very personal examination of three women who broke all the barriers in TV news in terms of what it took, where it got them and the price they paid." Houston Chronicle : "Weller is brave to write biographies with more than one primary person at the center. Professional biographers know that such a decision complicates research and writing exponentially. In a previous book, Weller… tackled three female vocalists. That book… deeply touched the emotions of many readers I know, female and male. I suspect The News Sorority will, too. [It's] a book that makes age-old gender battles seem fresh." NYCityWoman.com "[T]his book is not just the story of the fight against sexism waged by three plucky but different dames. The News Sorority is also a tale about the bygone heyday of network news… Yet it is filled with important truths - Vanity Fair style-about feminism in the news workplace… Weller is terrific in citing genuine and unique strengths: Amanpour's relentless reporting on the horrors suffered by civilians during the war in Bosnia and the plight of Darfur; Couric's campaign against the colon cancer that killed her first husband, complete with her on-air colonos© Sawyer's instinct for inspirational pieces about people like the Chilean miners and her humane yet probing interview with Whitney Houston." Bloomberg Businessweek : "Weller's book is sure to be catnip to TV obsessives and people in the news business." Buffalo News : "This is an important book." Kirkus Reviews : "As she did in her fluid multitiered biography Girls Like Us: Carole King, Joni Mitchell and Carly Simon-and the Journey of Generation , Weller takes apart feminist icons of her generation-those who came of age in the 1960s and ''70s-to see how they work and how they made it to prime time. Inspiring bios of today''s professional heroines." Booklist : "Best-selling author Weller draws on interviews with their friends and colleagues to offer portraits of the will and ambition each mustered to achieve iconic status. Weller details the personal tragedies they've dealt with… [and] also explores the unique personalities of these women and the set expectations among broadcast executives and viewers that they have had to overcome.", Kirkus Reviews : "As she did in her fluid multitiered biography Girls Like Us: Carole King, Joni Mitchell and Carly Simon-and the Journey of Generation , Weller takes apart feminist icons of her generation-those who came of age in the 1960s and '70s-to see how they work and how they made it to prime time.

Synopsis
Weller rivetingly recounts these gutsy ladies' time on the front lines... an inspiration for future generations of journalists . -- Vanity Fair For decades, women battered the walls of the male fortress of television journalism. After fierce struggles, three women Diane Sawyer, Katie Couric, and Christiane Amanpour broke into the newsroom s once impenetrable boys club. These women were not simply pathbreakers, but wildly gifted journalists whose unique talents enabled them to climb to the top of the corporate ladder and transform the way Americans received their news. Drawing on exclusive interviews with their colleagues and intimates from childhood on, The News Sorority crafts a lively and exhilarating narrative that reveals the hard struggles and inner strengths that shaped these women and powered their success. Life outside the newsroom love, loss, child rearing would mark them all, complicating their lives even as it deepened their convictions and instincts. Life inside the newsroom would include many nervy decisions and back room power plays previously uncaptured in any media account. Taken together, Sawyer s, Couric s, and Amanpour s lives as women are here revealed not as impediments but as keys to their success. Raised in Louisville, Kentucky, Diane Sawyer was a young woman steering her own unique political course in a time of societal upheaval. Her fierce intellect, almost insuperable work ethic, and sophisticated emotional intelligence would catapult Sawyer from being the first female on-air correspondent for 60 Minutes , to presenting anchoring the network flagship ABC World News . From her first breaks as a reporter all the way through her departure in 2014, Sawyer s charisma and drive would carry her through countless personal and professional changes. Katie Couric, always conveniently underestimated because of her girl-next-door demeanor, brazened her way through a succession of regional TV news jobs until she finally hit it big. In 1991, Couric became the cohost of Today , where, over the next fifteen years, she transformed the female slot from secondary to preeminent while shouldering devastating personal loss. Couric s greatest triumph and most bedeviling challenge was at CBS Evening News , as the first woman to solo-anchor a nighttime network news program. Her contradictions seriously feminist while proudly sorority-girlish made her beyond easy typecasting, and as original as she is relatable. A glamorous, unorthodox cosmopolite raised in pre-revolution Iran amid royalty and educated in England Christiane Amanpour would never have been picked out of a lineup as a future war reporter, until her character flourished on catastrophic soil: her family s exile during the Iranian Revolution. Once she knew her calling, Amanpour shrewdly made a virtue of her outsider status, joining the fledgling CNN on the bottom rung and then becoming its face, catalyzing its rise to global prominence. Amanpour s fearlessness in war zones would make her the world s witness to some of its most acute crises and television s chief advocate for international justice. Revealing the tremendous combination of ambition, empathy, and skill that empowered Sawyer, Couric, and Amanpour to reach stardom, The News Sorority is a detailed story of three very particular lives and a testament to the extraordinary character of women everywhere.
