The content of the book outlines a thoughtful examination of the state of journalism as it pertains to women, pointing out the need for greater seriousness and technical skill in writing. Bennett discusses the key skills necessary for success, such as clarity in composition, understanding editorial policies, and the significance of both non-topical and topical articles. He also emphasizes that the aspirant should develop an eye for spotting interesting stories in everyday life and advises on how to engage with editors effectively.
