Previous Episode: From The Archives: A 1993 Conversation With Jimmy Carter
In honor of Women’s History Month, today’s episode of On My Mind is a conversation from the archives with legendary broadcaster Barbara Walters. She died in December at age 93.
Walters joined Diane in the studio in 2008, shortly after the release of her memoir, “Audition.” She talked about the challenges of her childhood and her status as a pioneer in the television news industry.
Walters told Diane that she was not deliberately “paving the way,” but rather when faced with unfair treatment was simply saying: “You cannot do this to me because I’m a woman.”
