Cover of the book Invisible Stars: A Social History of Women in American Broadcasting by Donna L. Halper

Invisible Stars: A Social History of Women in American Broadcasting is Donna Halper’s landmark history of the women — announcers, engineers, executives and activists — who were too often written out of radio and television’s story.

Now in a revised and expanded second edition, it remains a foundational text for understanding how women shaped, and were shaped by, American broadcasting.
