Her love of writing led her to Manhattan, where she sold her first story to the <em>New Yorker</em> in 1929, launching a sixty-eight-year association with the magazine and a lifelong friendship with legendary editor Harold Ross. Imbued with an intense curiosity and zest for life, Hahn traveled to the Belgian Congo during the Great Depression, working for the Red Cross; set sail for Shanghai, becoming a Chinese poets concubine; had an illegitimate child with the head of the British Secret Service in Hong Kong, where she carried out underground relief work during World War II; and explored newly independent India in the 1950s. Back in the United States, Hahn built her literary career while also becoming a pioneer environmentalist and wildlife conservator.</p><p>With a rich understanding of social history and a keen eye for colorful details and amusing anecdotes, author Ken Cuthbertson brings to life a brilliant, unconventional woman who traveled fearlessly because nobody said not to go. Hahn wrote hundreds of acclaimed articles and short stories as well as fifty books in many genres, and counted among her friends Rebecca West, Ernest Hemingway, Dorothy Parker, James Thurber, Jomo Kenyatta, and Madame and General Chiang Kai-shek.</p>...2429143Nobody Said Not to Go206251https://www.gandhi.com.mx/nobody-said-not-to-go-9781504034050/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/2161769/5661e6cc-ce42-4487-944a-ec94ea5995ab.jpg?v=638383594157930000InStockMXN99999DIEbook20169781504034050_W3siaWQiOiI0ZWQ1YWY4OC04OTk4LTRhNmMtOGVkNS1jNzNlMGU1M2UwYzciLCJsaXN0UHJpY2UiOjI1MSwiZGlzY291bnQiOjU4LCJzZWxsaW5nUHJpY2UiOjE5MywiaW5jbHVkZXNUYXgiOnRydWUsInByaWNlVHlwZSI6Ildob2xlc2FsZSIsImN1cnJlbmN5IjoiTVhOIiwiZnJvbSI6IjIwMjQtMTAtMDJUMjM6MDA6MDBaIiwicmVnaW9uIjoiTVgiLCJpc1ByZW9yZGVyIjpmYWxzZX1d9781504034050_<p><strong>A rip-roaring bio</strong> <strong>of the trailblazing <em>New Yorker</em> journalist that explores</strong> <em><em>both the passion and dissatisfaction that fueled Hahns wanderlust (<em>Entertainment Weekly</em></em>).</em></p><p>Emily Hahn first challenged traditional gender roles in 1922 when she enrolled in the University of Wisconsins all-male College of Engineering, wearing trousers, smoking cigars, and adopting the nickname Mickey.
