Robin Herman was a journalist who became one of the first two women allowed in locker rooms of a men’s professional sport to interview players.Herman began her list of firsts while she was still a student, joining the first class of women to graduate from Princeton University. While at Princeton, she became the first woman to write for the Daily Princetonian, where she worked as sports editor and managing editor. Herman was hired by the New York Times as their first woman sportswriter in 1973.

Cyr were allowed into the locker rooms after the game, with the consent of the coaches. They became the first women allowed to conduct locker-room interviews with male players, in any professional sport. Herman later noted that she was frustrated with the attention that was paid to her feat – she called it a “circus scene” as the media focused on her and St.
Cyr rather than the achievements of the players.Herman later left the sports beat to cover politics for the Times, and she wrote about health and medical issues for the Washington Post. She founded the blog Girl in the Locker Room, and her story was part of the 2013 documentary “Let Them Wear Towels.” Herman was honored with the Mary Garber Pioneer Award by the Association of Women in Sports Media.“It was at the height of the women’s movement.
