Agnes Smedley

    23. Februar 1892 – 6. Mai 1950

    Agnes Smedley war eine amerikanische Journalistin und Schriftstellerin, deren Werk sich oft mit den politischen und sozialen Fragen ihrer Zeit befasste. Sie konzentrierte sich hauptsächlich auf China, wo sie die kommunistischen Kräfte während des Bürgerkriegs sympathisch darstellte und sich in verschiedenen Funktionen, einschließlich Spionage, engagierte. Ihre Schriften schöpften häufig aus persönlichen Erfahrungen und spiegelten ihr Engagement im Kampf für die Unabhängigkeit Indiens, Frauenrechte und andere soziale Anliegen wider. Mit ihrem unverwechselbaren literarischen Stil brachte Smedley Perspektiven auf komplexe internationale Konflikte und soziale Bewegungen in die westliche Welt.
