 Thompson, Dorothy
Born in Lancaster, New York, on July 9, 1894, Dorothy Thompson attended the Lewis Institute in Chicago and Syracuse (New York) University (A.B., 1914), where she became ardently committed to suffragism.
On their return to America, Thompson led a domestic life for a few years, but, back in Europe, she began reporting about the Nazi movement, infuriating Adolf Hitler so much that, by his own personal order in 1934, she became the first American correspondent to be expelled from Germany.
In 1936, for the New York Herald Tribune, she began her newspaper column "On the Record," which became hugely popular and eventually was syndicated to as many as 170 daily papers (1941-58).
