Autor

Rheta Louise Childe Dorr (1866–1948) was a pioneering American journalist, suffragist, and social reformer, with a career that spanned several dynamic decades of change and upheaval in the United States. Born in Omaha, Nebraska, she developed a keen interest in social issues from an early age. Dorr's literary style combined in-depth reporting with a bold and evocative prose, making her work both informative and resonant with her audiences. Her professional writing career took off at 'Hampton's Magazine,' where she served as an editor and writer covering progressive topics, especially those concerning women's rights and labor issues. Dorr is perhaps best known for her insightful work 'Inside the Russian Revolution' (1917), a vivid account of the tumultuous events in Russia, which draws from her personal experiences as a correspondent in Moscow during the 1917 revolution. The book is regarded as a significant historical document and is acclaimed for its firsthand narrative of the complexities of the Russian socio-political landscape. An advocate for women's suffrage, Dorr's literary contributions extended beyond journalism to include her autobiography 'A Woman of Fifty' (1924), which further illuminated her life's work and the broader movement for women's rights. In her writing and activism, Dorr embodied the spirit of early 20th-century progressivism, championing equality, and social justice.
