Quakers, communists, and the children's librarian
This study examines the effects of McCarthyism and anti-communist investigations at the local level. The author uses the case of Mary Knowles, a librarian who was investigated in the 1950s for alleged communist sympathies, to analyze how communities, local officials and ordinary people were impacted by the politics surrounding the Cold War.
