She was committed to feminist and liberal principles and was one of the foremost public intellectuals of the twentieth century. She is known for her studies of the Nazi war-crimes trials at Nuremburg, for which President Harry Truman called her “the world's best reporter.” In 1959, she was made a Dame Commander of the British Empire, the female equivalent of an honorary knighthood. |
