Barbara Bright Novovitch was a distinguished journalist who helped open the profession to women. She was ICWA’s first female fellow in 1968–1970, examining student protest movements in Europe and Pakistan. Over her long career in journalism, she was a staff writer for The Washington Post, Newsweek and Reuters, with foreign postings in Germany, Hong Kong, London and Paris. She was founding editor of the weekly magazine Woman’s World, and in the early 1970s she joined a successful sexual discrimination class action lawsuit brought against her employer, Newsweek. Her role is documented in the book Good Girls Revolt, later developed into an Amazon Prime television series. She wrote for The New York Times from West Texas from 2004 until 2008.
