Dorothy Frooks (February 12, 1896 – April 13. 1997) was an American author, publisher, military figure, lawyer and actress. In 1934, she ran on the Law Preservation ticket for U.S. Representative-at-large. She worked as a writer for the ''New York Evening World'' and published the ''Murray Hill News'' in 1952. She also wrote a pamphlet, entitled ''Labor Courts Outlaw Strikes'', calling for the establishment of a labor court. She was a lawyer in Peekskill, New York. As an author, she wrote numerous fiction and nonfiction books, including ''The Olympic Torch'', ''The American Heart'' and ''Lady Lawyer'', her autobiography. A veteran of both World War I (United States Navy) and World War II (United States Army), Frooks served as the National Commander of the Women World War Veterans. She appeared as one of "The Witnesses" in Warren Beatty's 1981 film ''Reds'' along with fellow centenarian radicals Scott Nearing and George Seldes. Frooks, Nearing and Seldes were all first-hand witnesses of the red-baiting, McCarthyism, and Cold War hysteria of the 1950s. Frooks died in 1997 at the age of 101. ==External links== * *(Dorothy Frooks papers ) finding aid at New York Public Library *(Dorothy Frooks, Lady Lawyer ) *(Dorothy Frooks, Lawyer and Suffragist, Dies ) New York Times, April 19, 1997 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Dorothy Frooks」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
