During her first show as an analyst on a CBS News special about the Watergate hearings, the male analysts at first did not let her say a word, she said.
Stahl said she was suddenly asked a question about "the latest gossip" from then White House aide John Erlichmann.
When she didn't speak, Stahl said journalist Daniel Schorr responded.
"If it's gossip you want, that's why we have a woman here," Shorr said.
A graduate of Wheaton College in Norton, Mass., Stahl began her journalism career in 1968, when she worked as a writer-researcher for NBC News. She joined CBS in 1972 after a stint as a producer for then-CBS Boston affiliate WHDH-TV.
From 1979 to1986, Stahl served as a White House correspondent. She joined "60 Minutes" in 1991 after 12 years as a Washington-based reporter.
Most recently, her investigative reporting on the Gulf War has earned her and others at "60 Minutes" adulation from the journalism industry.
Stahl's compilation of her memoirs, Reporting Live, was published by Simon and Schuster last year.
