Women in PR History: The History of Public Relations

Editat de Anastasios Theofilou
en Limba Engleză Paperback – aug 2022
The history of PR has received limited attention over the years, and especially the role of women in PR has been an ‘untold’ story thus far. This book is the first attempt, following research presented at the International History of Public Relations Conference, to shed light on the significant role that female pioneers have played in the evolution of PR.
This book explores the field in a way that will offer insight of the significance that women had in the evolution of PR, with diverse chapters that provide rich perspectives on women’s contributions to PR throughout the years and across the globe. It opens with an overview of women in public relations. Later chapters focus on the case of Turkey, which seems to have a rich history of women in public relations, then on specific cases from Oceania (Australia), Europe (Spain), Asia (Malaysia and Thailand) and America (United States). The final chapter deals with the case of Inez Kaiser, who was the first African- American women to open a US public relations agency.
This book will add knowledge and understanding to the fields of PR history and historiography. Academics and researchers will find the volume appropriate for research and teaching. Practitioners will also find the book extremely relevant for training, short courses and professional practice.

Recenzii

"Despite it being a predominantly female profession, the books chronicalling the history the of public relations are populated by stories of ‘great men’. Women are almost invisible. But slowly things are changing. More women are not only being appointed at the highest levels, but finally they are escaping the shadow of great men. Their stories are both beacons of achievement and a measure of professional and social progress. This book marks an important moment for the profession. For the first time a collection of her-stories have made it to the light of day: it’s a shame, literally, that it has taken until 2020 to do so. This collection gathers together crucial and unique insights into the lives of some of those great women and the lessons that can be learned from them. It also maps the progress of emerging from the shadow over the last few years. It’s a crucial contribution to our history and every thinking practitioner and grateful academic should have it." - Professor Anne Gregory, University of Huddersfield, UK
