Louise Bryant (1885– 1936) was an American women's activist, political dissident, and columnist. In the wake of experiencing childhood in country Nevada and graduating with a degree in history from the University of Oregon, she composed for two daily papers, the Spectator and The Oregonian. In the wake of abandoning her first spouse in 1915, she wedded John Reed and moved to Greenwich Village, where she shaped companionships with driving women's activists of the day. Like Reed, she took sweethearts, including the dramatist Eugene O'Neill and painter Andrew Dasburg. Her news stories were dispersed by Hearst amid and after her outings to Petrograd and Moscow, and showed up in daily papers over the United States and Canada. For the most part in sensitivity for the Bolsheviks amid the Russian Revolution, her articles highlighted Catherine Breshkovsky, Maria Spiridonova, Alexander Kerensky, Vladimir Lenin, and Leon Trotsky. A gathering of articles from her first outing was distributed as a book in 1918, Six Red Months in Russia. After Reed's demise in 1920, Bryant composed for Hearst about Turkey, Hungary, Greece, Italy, Russia, and different nations. The Bryant– Reed story is told in the 1981 film Reds. Her disregarded grave in Versailles was reestablished in 1998
