Title: Guide to the Virginia Gardner Papers, 1913-1990

Virginia Gardner (1904-1992) was a journalist, Communist, and biographer of Louise Bryant. She worked at several midwestern newspapers before joining the <i>Chicago Tribune</i> in 1930. Around 1937, she joined the Communist Party and was fired from the <i>Tribune</i> for her union activism in 1940. She then went to work for the Women's Division of the Democratic National Committee in New York and was briefly Executive Secretary of the American Council on Soviet Relations in Washington D.C.. She was active in the Citizens Committee for Harry Bridges, and wrote for the <i>Federated Press</i> (a labor news service), <i>The New Masses</i>, <i>Peoples World</i> (the CPUSA West Coast newspaper) in Los Angeles and the <i>Daily Worker</i> in New York where she covered the Rosenberg case in 1953. Gardner wrote <i>The Rosenberg Story</i> in 1954 and <i>Friend and Lover</i>, a Louise Bryant biography in 1982. The collection includes her correspondence, documentation of her political activities, research materials, manuscripts, autobiographical materials, photographs, and articles.
