The first book by this veteran journalist and photographer who went on assignment from the New York Herald Tribune for whom she had been reporting since 1932 to investigate "the status of women in the Soviet Union." In the course of her travels she covered 6000 miles by plane and boat making observations and conducting "countless interviews with all classes and types from high government officials to Trotskyists and exiled kulaks." Ms. Gruber who lived to the grand old age of 105 she died in 2016 was deeply involved during and immediately after World War II with the fortunes of Jewish refugees in particular with a secret mission undertaken on behalf of the U.S. Government to bring 1000 refugees to the United States. Her 1983 book "Haven" about this episode served as the basis for a 2001 TV-movie starring Natasha Richardson as Gruber. She also wrote a number of books about Israel during the country's formative years. She was also the subject of a documentary AHEAD OF TIME released in 2010 and there have been several museum exhibits of her photojournalism.
