Front Page Awards Winners Honored at Newswomen’s Club Gala at the New York Athletic Club
Author Talk: Becky Libourel Diamond
The American Gilded Age (1868 to 1900) and its extreme extravagance continue to be a source of wonder and fascination, particularly for foodies. The style and excessiveness of this era has ties to modern popular culture through books, films, and television shows, including the Julian Fellowes TV series The Gilded Age on HBO.
Newswomen’s Club of New York members joined Becky Libourel Diamond as she discussed foods and stories from the Gilded Age as featured in her new book The Gilded Age Cookbook.

Newswomen’s Club Announces 2023 Front Page Award Winners
In a year where news developed at a breakneck speed, New York City's newswomen strove to highlight the human stories behind the headlines. They succeeded in doing so, sharing the stories of the people affected by war, migration crises, gun violence and climate change. Newswomen investigated the consequences of cuts and consolidations to the city's healthcare systems, exposed the cracks New York's school children are falling through and continued the ongoing fight against misinformation.

The Front Page Awards will be presented on Feb. 6, 2024. Those wishing to attend the event, can purchase tickets to the event here.
Newswoman Amy Padnani Speaks to Club Members about Her Book
Newswomen's Club member Amy Padnani spoke fellow Newswomen earlier this month about her book, "Overlooked," based on the award-winning series of obituaries of remarkable women, people of color and others in history who never received a New York Times obit. Padnani signed copies of her work for attendees and delved into her research, assigning and editing processes. Emily Palmer, a senior crime writer at PEOPLE and a contributor to the series, moderated the lively discussion, held at the Newswomen's office in the National Arts Club. Thank you to Padnani and Palmer for sharing their insights - and to all who attended!

2022 Front Page Awards Gala Celebration: A Salute to the Winners
The Front Page Awards, held on Jan. 26, 2023, paid tribute to exceptional newswomen at local, regional, and national outlets across the New York metropolitan area. The event continued a tradition established 85 years ago when the New York Newspaper Woman’s Club (as The Newswomen’s Club of New York was then called) recognized women journalists whose bylined stories appeared on the front page, a rare occurrence for women in that era. Kudos to all the winners! (Photos by Brittainy Newman.)
