The New York Times bestselling author of Seinfeldia tells the little-known story of four trailblazing women in the early days of television who laid the foundation of the industry we know today.
It was the Golden Age of Radio and powerful men were making millions in advertising dollars reaching thousands of listeners every day. When television arrived, few radio moguls were interested in the upstart industry and its tiny production budgets, and expensive television sets were out of reach for most families. But four women—each an independent visionary— saw an opportunity and carved their own paths, and in so doing invented the way we watch tv today.
Irna Phillips turned real-life tragedy into daytime serials featuring female dominated casts. Gertrude Berg turned her radio show into a Jewish family comedy that spawned a play, a musical, an advice column, a line of house dresses, and other products. Hazel Scott, already a renowned musician, was the first African American to host a national evening variety program. Betty White became a daytime talk show fan favorite and one of the first women to produce, write, and star in her own show.
Together, their stories chronicle a forgotten chapter in the history of television and popular culture.
But as the medium became more popular—and lucrative—in the wake of World War II, the House Un-American Activities Committee arose to threaten entertainers, blacklisting many as communist sympathizers. As politics, sexism, racism, anti-Semitism, and money collided, the women who invented television found themselves fighting from the margins, as men took control. But these women were true survivors who never gave up—and thus their legacies remain with us in our television-dominated era. It’s time we reclaimed their forgotten histories and the work they did to pioneer the medium that now rules our lives.
This amazing and heartbreaking history, illustrated with photos, tells it all for the first time.

for inventing soap operas and a line of house dresses, we owe these trailblazing pioneeresses a debt that can never be repaid, except maybe with some pea green Tupperware and a 3-speed Jackrabbit.

‘Hidden Figures’ detailed the fake history of female data entry personel repurposed into ‘key’ ‘programmers’. This book follows the same pattern.
The world is run by horrific white men, like Gates, who are currently funding this laughable revisionist garbage that very low IQ ‘leftists’ scream is ‘real history’.
In the USA this laughable propaganda gets traction only because of the ‘two team’ system - fake left and fake right. Just as in Newcastle UK today, football fans are now wearing what they think is the current garb of the Saudis (a real life Saudi mass murderer has bought the local football team) much to the delight of lefties everywhere.
Anything US lefties think represents Team Biden is fine by them, so long as it (seemingly) sticks it to Team Trump. So a 1984 style rewriting of history is always appauded,as the comments here prove.
Mao, Pol Pot, Stalin and Htler would recognise the current leftie dynamic in the USA in an instant, since each used the exact same social control methods.
Lying about the past in the name of ’social justice’ is what every successful political monster does.

The Saudi ownership of Newcastle United has delighted nobody and appalled the vast majority.
Just like everything else in your little diatribe, it’s a lie.
