Gifts For Wife Biography
(Source google.com)
Anne Morrow Lindbergh (née Anne
Spencer Morrow; June 22, 1906 – February 7, 2001) was an American author,
aviator, and the wife of fellow aviator Charles Lindbergh. She was an acclaimed
author whose books and articles spanned the genres of poetry to non-fiction,
touching upon topics as diverse as youth and age; love and marriage; peace,
solitude and contentment, as well as the role of women in the 20th century.
Lindbergh's Gift from the Sea is a popular inspirational book, reflecting on
the lives of American women. Anne Spencer Morrow was born on June 22, 1906 in Englewood, New
Jersey. Her father was Dwight W. Morrow, a partner in
J.P. Morgan & Co., who became United States Ambassador to Mexico and United States Senator from New Jersey. Her mother
was Elizabeth Reeve Cutter Morrow, a poet and teacher, who was active in
women's education, and served as acting president of her alma mater Smith College.
Anne was the second of four
children; her siblings were Elisabeth Reeve, Dwight, Jr., and Constance. The
children were raised in a Calvinist household that fostered achievement. Every
night, Anne's mother would read to her children for an hour. The children
quickly learned to read and write, began reading to themselves, and writing
poetry and diaries. Anne would later benefit from this routine, eventually
publishing her later diaries to critical acclaim. After graduating from The Chapin
School in New York City in 1924, Anne attended Smith College,
from which she graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree in 1928. She received
the Elizabeth Montagu Prize for her essay on women of the eighteenth century
and Madame d'Houdetot, and the Mary Augusta Jordan Literary Prize for her
fictional piece entitled "Lida Was Beautiful".
The frenzied press attention paid
to the Lindberghs, particularly after the kidnapping of their son and later the
trial, conviction and execution of Bruno Richard Hauptmann, prompted Charles
and Anne to retreat to England, to a house called Long Barn owned by Harold
Nicolson and Vita Sackville-West, and later to the small island of Illiec, off
the coast of Brittany in France.
While in Europe,
the Lindberghs came to advocate isolationist views that led to their fall from
grace in the eyes of many. In 1938, the U.S. Air Attaché in Berlin invited Charles Lindbergh to inspect
the rising power of Nazi Germany's Air Force. Impressed by German technology
and their apparent number of aircraft, as well as influenced by the staggering
number of deaths from World War I, Lindbergh opposed U.S. entry into the impending
European conflict.
Anne then wrote a 41-page
booklet, The Wave of the Future, published in 1940, in support of her husband
who was lobbying for a U.S.–German peace treaty similar to Hitler's
Non-Aggression Treaty with Stalin, and argued that something resembling fascism
was the unfortunate "wave of the future", echoing authors such as
Lawrence Dennis and later James Burnham. The Roosevelt
administration subsequently attacked The Wave of the Future as "the bible
of every American Nazi, Fascist, Bundist and Appeaser", and the booklet
became one of the most despised writings of the period. She had also written in
a letter, of Hitler, that he was "a very great man, like an inspired
religious leader—and as such rather fanatical—but not scheming, not selfish, not
greedy for power."
