"At the time (November 1931) Rose was staying at the Westport, Connecticut, home of Sinclair Lewis and his wife Dorothy Thompson, a journalist and Rose’s longtime friend. Lewis had won the 1930 Nobel Prize for Literature; Dorothy wanted to go to Sweden with him and asked Rose to mind the household, which included the Sinclairs’ six-month-old baby. There, she worked for a month on Old Gimlet Eye: The Adventures of Smedley D. Butler, which was published in 1933."

Kind of a shame. I never learned anything about Dorothy Thompson as a younger human being in a certain kind of educational system, in the United States of America!

"She was the first American journalist to be expelled from Nazi Germany, in 1934, and was one of the few women news commentators broadcasting on radio during the 1930s.[1][2] Thompson is regarded by some as the "First Lady of American Journalism"[3] and was recognized by Time magazine in 1939 as equal in influence to Eleanor Roosevelt.[4]"
