| Summary | "Jennie Baxter, Journalist" by Robert Barr is a novel written during the late 19th century. The story unfolds around Miss Jennie Baxter, an ambitious and attractive young journalist trying to secure a position on the staff of a prominent newspaper, the "Daily Bugle". The narrative highlights her endeavors in a male-dominate field, showcasing her skills, charm, and determination to navigate the complexities of journalism while pursuing a scandal involving the disappearance of valuable diamonds linked to a royal family. The opening of the book introduces Jennie as she prepares to meet Radnor Hardwick, the editor of the "Daily Bugle". Through her careful attire and strategic planning, we see her intent to impress the editor and present herself as a worthy candidate for employment. The dialogue with the Irish porter at the newspaper office emphasizes her resourcefulness as she seeks ways to gain access to Hardwick amidst a competitive environment filled with waiting male journalists. As she overhears crucial conversations regarding a looming scandal about the Board of Public Construction, the stage is set for her to step into action not just as a reporter, but as a savvy investigator, hinting at her pivotal role in unraveling the complexities of the diamond mystery that becomes central to the plot.
