Description
Send us a textAs Berlin bureau chief for The Chicago Tribune from 1925-1941, Sigrid Schultz deflected both sexism and danger to report the truth and speak truth to power. The Nazis dubbed her “that dragon from Chicago,” and her importance as an indomitable “newspaperman” (her term) telling Americans about the Third Reich's agenda can’t be understated. Amy speaks this week with Pamela Toler, the author of a new biography on Schultz’s life, work and lasting legacy.Mentioned in this episode:The Dragon From Chicago: The Untold Story of an American Reporter in Nazi Germany by Pamela TolerWomen Warriors: An Unexpected History by Pamela TolerHeroines of Mercy Street: The Real Nurses of the Civil War by Pamela TolerThe Chicago TribuneMcCall’s MagazineFriederich EbertHermann GoeringJoseph GoebbelsHotel AdlonRichard Henry Little, a.k.a.
