writer
Born in Englewood, New Jersey, on June 22, 1906, Anne Morrow was the daughter of Dwight W. Morrow, a prominent Wall Street lawyer and in 1927╨1930 U.S. ambassador to Mexico. She attended Miss Chapin╒s School in New York City and in 1928 graduated from Smith College, where she won prizes for early literary efforts. She met Charles Lindbergh at her father╒s embassy in Mexico City in December 1927 and married him in May 1929. The fame and publicity that had been showered on him since his daring Atlantic flight of May 1927 quickly engulfed her as well. She accompanied her husband on nearly all of his flights to various parts of the world and in 1931 herself qualified for a pilot╒s license.
She was widely honored for her part in the development of aviation and in 1934 was the first woman to receive the Hubbard Medal of the National Geographic Society. The tragic kidnap and murder of the Lindberghs╒ infant son in March 1932, the sensational capture and trial of Bruno Richard Hauptmann for the crime in 1934╨1935, and the incessant newspaper publicity that attended every detail of the case drove the essentially retiring couple to seek refuge in England in 1935. In that year Anne Lindbergh published her first book, North to the Orient, an account of their pioneering flight across Canada, Alaska, and Siberia to Japan and China in 1931. Listen! the Wind, 1938, told of their five-month, 30,000╨mile survey of transatlantic air routes in 1933. After a year in France the Lindberghs returned to the United States in 1939. In The Wave of the Future, 1940, she wrote in support of Charles Lindbergh╒s isolationist outlook on world war. Her next book, The Steep Ascent, 1944, was a novel.
Subsequent books included Gift from the Sea, a best-selling collection of poetic essays on nature and human life, 1955, The Unicorn and Other Poems, 1935╨1955, 1956, Dearly Beloved: A Theme and Variations, a novel, 1962, Earth Shine, two long essays, 1969, and several widely admired volumes of excerpts from her diaries and letters: Bring Me a Unicorn, 1972, Hour of Gold, Hour of Lead, 1973, Locked Rooms and Open Doors, 1974, The Flower and the Nettle, 1976, and War Within and Without, 1980.
