Connie Chung, a pioneering Asian American journalist, reflects on her challenging ascent in a male-dominated industry in her new memoir, 'Connie.' She humorously attributes part of her success to using humor and alcohol to fit into the 'boys club' of journalism during the 1972 presidential campaign. Chung recalls instances of harassment and the significant hurdles she faced, including her experience as co-anchor of CBS Evening News, where she felt unwelcome by her male counterparts. Her memoir not only covers her career highlights but also addresses the lingering sexism in various industries, emphasizing that her approach, while unorthodox, was a survival mechanism. Chung's impact on broadcast journalism is further underscored by the phenomenon of 'Generation Connie,' wherein many Asian American families named their daughters after her, recognizing her trailblazing role. The memoir serves as a personal narrative, detailing her life, career, and reflections on being a woman of color in the media.
