Smedley, Agnes (1894–1950)

US journalist and social activist. She took up revolutionary and pacifist causes, first being jailed in India in 1918 for working for liberation from Britain. She went to China for a German newspaper in 1928 and lived there until 1941, openly identifying with the Chinese communist movement in her reporting and in her best-known book, Battle Hymn of China (1943).

She was born in Osgood, Missouri. Her early life was one of deprivation and self-education.
