The lively salons of Shanghai, Yugoslavia on the brink of World War II, the shot-marked streets of the Spanish Civil War, Hong Kong under Japanese occupation, Germany and Italy at war, post-Blitz London, McCarthy-era Mexico, Congo, the American South, Cuba, and beyond. These women didn't just bear witness to the great changes of the twentieth century, they didn't just create the stories that gave the backstory to wars and roused their readers to support, they transformed the world they were writing about even as they transformed the way it was written about and read. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eHahn, West, and Gellhorn each traversed the globe in search of great stories they would then dispatch to outlets like \u003ci\u003eThe New Yorker\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Times\u003c\/i\u003e (London), \u003ci\u003eThe New York Times\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe New Republic\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Atlantic Monthly\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eCollier's\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eVogue\u003c\/i\u003e. They often traveled alone, sometimes teaming up with other women reporters, sometimes with their husbands in tow. They sneaked onto the front lines when they were forbidden, talked to everyday civilians to get color and detail for their stories. They wrote novels to pay the bills(!) and articles to explain the world to itself. They became mothers and friends, took joy in each other's successes. They changed the world and journalism. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eJulia Cooke's \u003ci\u003eRestless Women\u003c\/i\u003e is the story of three women whose curiosity, grit, and ambition hugely expanded the possibilities for women and meaningful work.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Julia Cooke\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0374609780\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780374609788\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Farrar, Straus and Giroux\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/24\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 448\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 1.00d","brand":"Julia Cooke","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47135159845119,"sku":"9780374609788","price":32.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a882a2dc-9907-4ed3-bdc5-348fddcdcf57.jpg?v=1755009335","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/starry-and-restless-julia-cooke-9780374609788","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
