Nora Waln
Nora Waln (1895–1964) was a best-selling USA author and journalist in the 1930s–50s, writing books and articles on her time spent in Germany and China. She was among the first to report on the spread of Nazism from 1934 to 1938. She traveled widely in Europe and Asia, contributing articles to the ''Atlantic Monthly'' and other magazines. She was one of the few correspondents who reported from Communist China and Mongolia, reporting for the ''Saturday Evening Post'' for three and a half years, including reporting from the Korean War (1947-1951). She regularly contributed to the ''Atlantic Monthly'' from 1925 to 1962.
==Early years==
She was the daughter of Thomas Lincoln and Lillian Quest Waln,〔(Parents' names: Finding aid for the Nora Waln Literary Papers in Friends Historical Library at Swarthmore College Ref RG5/625 )〕 from a Pennsylvanian Quaker family.〔(Descendants of Richard Waln of Burholme, Lancashire )〕
In 1918, she was Publicity Secretary of the American Committee for Armenian and Syrian Relief (later the Near East Foundation) and contributed a foreword to the book ''Ravished Armenia''.〔, a possibly biased source.〕
From childhood, she was interested in Chinese culture after learning of a family trading-connection with the Lin family of Hopei Province from the early nineteenth-century.
