This is the
exquisitely crafted portrait of the fearless and feisty 100-year-old
reporter, photographer, memoirist and humanitarian Ruth Gruber, who
became the world's youngest PhD at age 20. A feminist before the
movement began, she became a New York Herald Tribune foreign
correspondent at 24, and was the first reporter to enter the Soviet
Artic. For seven decades she didn't just report the news...she made it.
Gruber, who has written 19 books and received numerous awards, secretly
escorted Holocaust refugees to America, was an eyewitness to the Haganah
ship Exodus, covered the Nuremberg trials and had access to world
leaders including Eleanor Roosevelt and David Ben-Gurion.
