Born in England, Mrs. Mowrer met her husband Edgar Ansel Mowrer there in 1911. Mr. Mowrer (1892-1977) was a 1933 Pulitzer Prize-winning foreign correspondent for The Chicago Daily News. The couple were close to events in Italy during the rise of Mussolini, in Germany during the rise of Hitler, and in France until it fell to the Nazis in 1940, when they were forced by the Nazis to flee France.
Mrs. Mowrer’s first book, ‘‘Journalist’s Wife,” appeared in 1937 and was officially banned in Germany by the Nazis. Her last book, published in 1961, was ‘‘The Indomitable John Scott: Citizen of Long Island,” a biography of a 17th-century Colonial adventurer. She also wrote theater criticism for Vanity Fair and Town and Country magazines and articles on politics for British newspapers.
Mrs. Mowrer died in 1990 at her home in Lincoln Park, Chicago at the age of 101.

Despite being an American citizen, she spent the next few months in Lwów and was then transported to exile in Siberia, where she was forced to spend the next six months until the arrival of her U.S. passport secured her release.показать меньше
