This paper will make a research about this special group from three aspects.The author will make an introduction of the women correspondents in the Iraq war in the first part. One of this part is the behavior of all of them in the background of the embedded reporting and the live TV and the other is about three representatives who are very typical during this war. The reasons why they came the front and their behavior in the war will be analyzed specifically.Next, the author will summarize the influence that the women correspondents had both in the journalism and feminism.

They played an important role for the balance of the male and female ratio in the news industry and the society has an new impression of them.And the last part of this paper will make an evaluation of this group in the position of the author.
