This collection documents the life and work of journalist and writer Sigrid Schultz. Among the earliest women to hold a high position in international journalism, Schultz was appointed Central European Bureau Chief in the Chicago Tribune's Berlin office in late 1925. She reported for the Tribune and the Mutual Broadcasting Service until her return to the U.S. in 1941. Schultz gave early warning about the rise of the National Socialist party in Germany, cultivating connections with Nazi leaders that enabled her to do in-depth reporting.
