The Dragon from Chicago

In The Dragon From Chicago, Pamela D. Toler sheds light on the remarkable yet overlooked story of Sigrid Schultz, one of the earliest female journalists who bravely reported from Berlin during the rise of the Nazi regime. As the Chicago Tribune's Berlin bureau chief from 1925 to 1941, Schultz courageously warned American readers about the growing dangers of Nazism amidst a backdrop of misinformation and oppression. Drawing from extensive archival research, Toler emphasizes Schultz's pivotal role in challenging the narrative controlled by the Nazis, making this an inspiring tale of truth and resilience in the face of adversity.
