The awakening of women to sex-discrimination has been on the rise since Renaissance resulting into revolutionary writings by them. Lynn Povich, who was the first ever female Senior Editor at “Newsweek" magazine of the United States, has come out with her new book The Good Girls Revolt in which she chronicles the story of how the women of "Newsweek" came together to sue the publication for gender discrimination in the 1970's. In this book, she documents how after months of secret plotting, she and 45 other women sued Newsweek for gender discrimination, the first lawsuit of its kind. My paper would elaborate in detail how the first sex-discrimination lawsuit in the history of media shaped the modern workplace at the 'Newsweek' and how the struggle must go on because the struggle is not just 'to get something' but to understand how something can be an institutional issue rather than a personal flaw keeping one from getting ahead
