Product Description
Making Waves captures the spirit and courage exhibited by the 50 greatest women in television and radio. It highlights the pioneers, both well-known personalities and behind-the-scenes movers, who've made it happen. Those featured were selected by the AWRT membership, based on their industry impact, audience influence, assistance in advancing women, and vision for the future. Honorees - from Lucille Ball to Oprah Winfrey, from Barbara Walters to Martha Stewart - are treated with a biography, photos, and a personal essay recalling the defining moments of their careers. New insights into these women's lives and careers will surprise readers!

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful for Education & Empowerment!, April 23, 2002
Women have come a long way in many fields, in part, because of the efforts of many of these 50 courageous women. This is a wonderful book, fascinating backgrounds and photos of our most beloved pioneers. It would also make a lovely gift for any young woman starting out who doesn't even realize the opportunites she has now because of those who went before and blazed the trail. Congratulations, beautifully done!

5.0 out of 5 stars Inspiring!, April 23, 2002
By A Customer
These women paved the way for all women in media today and forever chaged the landscape of what we hear and see. They have influenced our culture and served as inspiring role models for women. Their stories of perserverence and triumph should make us all grateful for the wonderful women who came before us to open the doors of diversity in all career areas.

This book tells the inspiring tales of some of the most remarkable women of our time who would not be discouraged when told that they could not make it in a man's world.
