Notes from our speaker
- Over time, this tireless leader received much recognition, ranging from her Pulitzer and Nobel Prizes to her regular inclusion on lists of the world’s most admired women. But there is often a price for leadership and social activism and though millions of people admired Pearl Buck and her work, there were others who found her controversial, even threatening, because of her strong stands on social justice and human rights, particularly as a woman during that time.
- In 1937, the FBI opened a file on Pearl Buck because of her support of the Women’s International League for Peace and Freedom and other organizations devoted to civil and human rights. It grew to be more than 300 pages long making it one of the largest of those assembled on prominent writers of the period including Langston Hughes, Dorothy Parker, and F. Scott Fitzgerald. In Pearl Buck’s case, the FBI noted her attacks on racial discrimination as cause for concern. In the eyes of the FBI she represented a potential threat to the country.
