Author: Elizabeth Dilling

Elizabeth Eloise Kirkpatrick Dilling (April 19, 1894 – May 26, 1966) was an American writer and political activist, lobbying against the communist infiltration of the US under the Roosevelt administration. Dilling was the best-known leader of the World War II women's isolationist movement, a grass-roots campaign that pressured Congress to stay out of the war, for which she was illegally prosecuted in 1942; the charges were dropped in 1946.
