Lynn Povich, the author of “The Good Girls Revolt,” and I talk about the legal fights waged by women journalists in the 1970s against the gender discrimination they experienced in their jobs. At magazines, newspapers and broadcast stations, women were put in clerical rather than editorial jobs, while men with their same education and skill sets were hired as writers or producers. Women were paid and promoted less than men, too. In this context, we’ll talk about Ludtke v. Kuhn, my 1978 legal case that won equal access for women sportswriters.
