Anna Louise Strong, the daughter of Sydney Dix Strong, was born on 24th November, 1885 in Friend, Nebraska. Her father was a minister in the Congregational Church and was active in missionary work. Strong, like most people on the left, welcomed the Russian Revolution. In 1921 she travelled to Russia as a member of the Quaker Relief Mission.
