Journalists: Dorothy Thompson

Womanica - A podcast by iHeartPodcasts and Wonder Media Network

Dorothy Thompson (1893-1961) was a crusading journalist who urged her fellow Americans to pay attention to the threat of Nazi Germany. She worked tirelessly in print and on the radio to warn Americans of the threat of fascism years before the official U.S. entry into World War II. Her efforts made her one of the most famous women in the United States and she is often regarded as the “First Lady of American Journalism.”
