A Woman of Fifty (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781026089002)

"A Woman of Fifty" is the compelling autobiography of Rheta Childe Dorr, a pioneering American journalist, suffragist, and social reformer. Writing at a pivotal moment in history, Dorr recounts her life's journey from a rebellious childhood to her transformation into one of the most influential "new women" of her era. The narrative offers an intimate look at the tireless struggle for women's suffrage and the barriers faced by women seeking professional independence in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

Dorr provides firsthand accounts of her experiences as a war correspondent, including her time on the Russian front during the revolution and her observations of the shifting political landscape in Europe. As an editor and investigative reporter, she championed the rights of working-class women and children, bringing a sharp, sociopolitical lens to her storytelling. "A Woman of Fifty" serves as both a personal memoir and a vital historical record, capturing the spirit of a woman who refused to conform to the limitations of her time. Her story remains a powerful testament to the courage required to advocate for social change and gender equality.
