Freda Kirchwey was a beacon for liberals and activists of her era. A journalist with The Nation from 1918 to 1955--owner, editor, and publisher after 1937--she was an advocate of advanced ideas about sexual freedom and a tireless foe of fascism. In this biography, Alpern weaves the strands of gender-related issues with larger social explorations.
