Join us in person for a GHIL Lecture by David Milne (University of East Anglia) on Sigrid Schultz, the Chicago Tribune, and the Third Reich.

Deutsches Historisches Institut London

For journalist William Shirer, ‘no other correspondent in Germany knew so much of what was going on behind the scenes as did Sigrid Schultz.’ Hermann Göring denounced Schultz as ‘that dragon lady from Chicago.’ Sigrid Schultz lived in Berlin from 1914 to 1941, was bureau chief for the Chicago Tribune from 1925, and had a formidable record of journalistic accomplishment. Yet Schultz has left only a faint historical trace. Schultz overcame significant obstacles—as a woman in a male dominated milieu, as a foreign journalist working in a totalitarian state, and as an interventionist at an isolationist newspaper—throughout her career. This talk will explore Schultz’s work and her significance.David Milne is Professor of Modern History at the University of East Anglia. He is the author of America's Rasputin: Walt Rostow and the Vietnam War (2008) and Worldmaking: The Art and Science of American Diplomacy (2015). His writing has also appeared in The Wall Street Journal, Foreign Policy, and the Los Angeles Times.
