The early life and trailblazing career of one of the twentieth century?s most remarkable female journalists In this fascinating memoir, Ruth Gruber recalls her first twenty-five years, from her youth in Brooklyn to her astonishing academic accomplishments and groundbreaking journalistic career. She shares her experiences entering New York University at fifteen and just five years later becoming the world?s youngest person to earn a PhD. She recounts her time in Cologne, Germany, studying during Hitler?s rise to power, and her adventures in Europe and the Arctic as a reporter for the New York Herald Tribune. Spirited and compelling, Ahead of Time is a striking account of the early years of a woman at the center of the twentieth century?s turning points.
