Not the First Woman War Correspondent

edit

I'm not sure who the first female war correspondent was in the U.K., but Lady Florence Dixie was appointed to the daily newspaper the London Morning Post in 1879 (Brake, Laurel, and Marysa Demoor, DNCJ: Dictionary of Nineteenth-Century Journalism [Academia Press and the British Library, 2009]: 172b). Lady Wilson was definitely an early female war correspondent, though, no doubt about that. Scogdill (talk) 20:02, 18 August 2017 (UTC)Reply
