No Place for a Lady charts Thea Rosenbaums turbulent life: from a little girl escaping the Soviet Army with her mother in Berlin, 1945; to becoming Germanys first woman stock broker at Oppenheimer and Co.; to Germanys only woman war correspondent in Vietnam. She then embarked on a career as producer for ARD German television in the U.S., where she was White House Pool Producer for foreign correspondents from the late 70s to late 2000s. In this capacity, she traveled with five presidents, and was present in Germany for the end of the cold war as the Berlin Wall fell. Her life, as a civilian, correspondent and producer, book ends and charts the greatest conflict of the later half of the 20th century. As she rose in the ranks of a difficult career, she was constantly overcoming her sense of inferiority, ugliness and even stupidity. While becoming a journalist was always something she aspired to, as a young lady she believed she was too stupid to achieve it, and yet she was able to succeed in every facet of the work for five decades. At every point in her historic career she overcame the under-expectations and prejudices of her contemporaries, as well as, and most especially, her own inner weakness and self-deprecation. As to the history she witnessed: she gathered chocolate in the streets of Berlin that the Americans dropped during the Berlin Air Lift. As a West Berliner, she was there the night the barbed wire first went up hardening the East/West divide. Later, and as a journalist, she was in Khe-Sanh in 68 when it was the focus of attack by the NVA, until the Tet Offensive began when she reported on the NVA and Vietcong attacks from Nam O, Hue and Saigon. She was the first woman to report from a nuclear submarine. She covered the Carter administration for the Camp David Accords, as well as well as reporting from Cairo when the deal was finalized. No Place for a Lady also reveals many of Theas funny, and sometimes not, interactions with Americas greatest journalists.
