She describes the male anchors and correspondents, and the way they were taken seriously just based on their gender while women had to walk an impossible walk, serious enough not to be dismissed, but not so serious that they would be bypassed for their “bitchiness”. She mentions her competition with Deborah Norville, Diane Sawyers, and Connie Chung. Her career was part of the generation to follow Barbara Waters, who broke down the doors for Katie and all female journalists who were to follow. Katie reflected the choices we were all making those years, as we got ready for work and dashed out the door. Her hair styles, shoulder padded jackets, and changing skirt lengths paralleled my work hair and wardrobe choices. I can relate to Katie Couric- she is 65, and I am almost 62.
