Description:
Louise Bryant was a relentless critic of U.S. imperialism, although she is best known for her love affair with John Reed. Louise grew up in Reno, Nevada and moved to Eugene, Oregon to attend the University of Oregon. In Eugene she was active in the movement for women’s suffrage. In 1914, Louise moved to Portland. She wrote for The Masses, and in 1917, she traveled with John Reed to Russia to cover political developments. She was highly critical of Nicholas II and the Russian autocracy and believed that democracy could only be achieved through their overthrow. She published her views on the Russian Revolution in “Six Months in Russia.” She came back to Portland in 1919 as part of a national speaking tour, and spoke to an audience of 4000 about the importance of opposing the U.S. military intervention against the newly formed Bolshevik government. She died in Paris in 1934.
