Excerpt: Meyer was a fascinating woman in her own right - the daughter of a Progressive Party philanthropist and a journalist, she herself perused a career in the press at a time when women were still largely marginalized in the field. She briefly served as editor for Atlantic Monthly and brushed shoulders with Communists, pacifists, and intellectuals over the year. She was also a talented artist. Those bohemian leanings are said to have perhaps softened Jfk:s view of the Cold War during their years-long affair.
