“Taylor says she always approached her stories any way she liked. She justified her attitude by saying she must be giving the woman’s view because it was her view and she was, of course, a woman. Thus she would do stories on things such as cars and airplanes, but she would also do pieces on what would classically be described as women’s stories, such as on fashion,” according to Suzanne Haibach Marteney, who wrote a doctoral thesis on Taylor’s career for Cal State Northridge in 1986. “However, Taylor’s reasoning for doing these stories would not always fit the classical stereotype. For instance, she says she always enjoyed doing fashion stories because fashion was a reflection of our changing society.” -- Yahoo! Movies
