Gee, I guess we can be grateful they wouldn't have done that nowadays.

"Address Unknown was first published in Story magazine in September 1938, and then in book form a year later, becoming an instant bestseller. It has been translated across the world, adapted into a 1944 film and into multiple productions for the stage and radio – all under the name of Kressmann Taylor, after Story’s editor, along with Kathrine Kressmann Taylor’s husband, Elliott, decided it was 'too strong to appear under the name of a woman.' The impact was immediate, the story credited with having 'jolted America,' alerting it to the horror unfolding in Nazi Germany."
