Tina Brown Pleased With Glass Ceiling-Smashing

“I’m the first woman editor of Newsweek, which is very exciting. You know that in the 1970s, the women editors of Newsweek launched a lawsuit against the management because there were hardly any women doing anything of any consequence on the magazine. And women’s liberation took over and they hired the great lawyer, Eleanor Norton, and they went to battle for their rights. I feel that it — you know, a merger has created what the lawsuit couldn’t.” What a difference forty years makes.
