Description

Reporter for the Minneapolis Tribune and the Associated Press (AP), achieving several firsts for American women journalists. Assigned to the White House. By 1932, she had become the nation's best-known female reporter. Notable for her intimate relationship with first-lady Eleanor Roosevelt, as discovered through the release of the latter's historical letters. Feeling compromised as a journalist with this close relationship, she began work as the chief investigator for the Federal Emergency Relief Administration (FERA).
