Letters from Dorothy
  Adventures in the U.S. Foreign Service
1926-1934


Dorothy Forrant's 1920s American Dream began not in the heartland, but by leaving it. From the poverty of a Ware, Massachusetts textile mill town, she rose to become a valued member of the US Foreign Service. Driven by her typing skills and a year of Commercial College, she escaped the mill and embraced the world. Her journey spanned Havana, Buenos Aires, Tokyo, and Peiiping, placing her in contact with Charles Lindbergh, Will Rogers, and a host of other historical figures, all while contributing to vital diplomatic missions.
