DOROTHY THOMPSON
Rare signature from the author on letterhead from the New York Herald
Tribune, signing with the surname "Lewis" from her marriage to Nobel Prize
winning author Sinclair Lewis
Signature: "Dorothy Thompson Lewis", in black ink, 5¾x7¾. In 1939,
Time magazine rated journalist Dorothy Thompson (1893-1961,
born in Lancaster, New York) as the second-most influential woman in the
United States; the first was Eleanor Roosevelt. One of her first
journalistic coups was, in a twisted way, a reporter's dream come true, when
Adolf Hitler kicked her out of Germany in 1934 for her reportage of Nazi
Germany, making her the first American reporter to be expelled from that
country. Back in the states, she began writing the newspaper column On
the Record for The New York Herald, which was eventually
syndicated in 170 papers. Thompson was married three times: first to
Hungarian writer Joseph Bard from 1923 to 1927, second to Nobel Prize winner
Sinclair Lewis from 1928 to 1942, and third to artist Maxim Kopf from 1945
to 1958. Normal mailing folds. Lightly toned. Slight surface creases. Fine
condition.
