But it’s 1955, and the men who dominate the city room of the Chicago Tribune have no interest in making room for a female cub reporter.

Now careers and lives are hanging on Jordan’s every word. But if she succeeds in landing her stories on the front page, there’s no guarantee she’ll remain above the fold.…
