Edna Lee Booker

Edna Lee Booker was an American journalist who authored several books about China during the 1930s and 1940s. She arrived in Shanghai in 1922 as foreign correspondent for the International News Service of New York and as, in her own words, a "girl reporter" for the China Press, then the leading American daily in China. She had previously worked on the Los Angeles Herald and the San Francisco Call Bulletin, and became the first foreign woman correspondent ever to interview the two Chinese warlords, Chang Tso-lin and Wu Pei-fu.
