The Collected Dorothy Parker | Dorothy Parker
post image

Happy #bookishbirthday to Dorothy Parker (1893-1967)! She's known for her short fiction, poems, criticism, satire & screenplays. She was also a civil rights & anti-fascism activist. She was on the FBI's communist watchlist for founding the Hollywood Anti-Nazi League in 1936. She chaired the Joint Anti-Fascist Rescue Committee. She bequeathed her entire estate to MLK & ultimately the NAACP upon her death. She would've been pro-Nazi punching. 👊🏼

LeahBergen Love her. ❤️❤️ 7y
Scorpioseah Salute to her 👍 7y
Jess_Read_This She's an icon. The stories from the Algonquin Round Table make smile. Her response to the FBI agents interrogating her in her home with her dogs running about classic. But her commitment activism makes me adore her. Love this post! ❤️ 7y

Shortstack Just opened up Litsy to see this wonderful post at the top of my feed! I had no idea she was so incredible! Thanks for shining a new light on an author I hadn't thought about much! 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻 #womenkickass 7y
elkeOriginal I feel silly for not taking her seriously based on her writing genre - love the quote above and knowing she's a humanitarian. And I knew she couldn't top Agatha Christie's sales (no.1 seller of all time)! #awesomeladies #ftg #topoftheheap 7y
HippieChickHomeschool It looks like I should read some Danielle Steele! 7y
Megabooks Awesome! No idea! 7y
ferskner She's only 70?! I thought she'd been around much longer. 7y
