Scope and Content Note

The papers of Martha Eccles Dodd span the years 1898-1990, with the bulk of
the items concentrated in the period 1950-1990. The collection contains
correspondence, printed matter, and other materials documenting Dodd's
experiences in Berlin from 1933 to 1937 with her father, William E. Dodd,
American ambassador to Germany and her life during the period 1957 to 1990
spent in exile as a political writer in Cuba and Czechoslovakia. Also
contained in the collection are Dodd's writings, including articles, short
stories, and materials relating to her books. The Dodd Papers consist of
the following series: Family Papers, Correspondence, Writings, and
Scrapbooks.

The Family Papers (1898-1990) consist primarily of letters sent or received
by family members, genealogical materials, and newspaper clippings relating
to Dodd and her immediate family. The series is also comprised of
correspondence and business records pertaining to the career and interests
of her second husband, Alfred K. Stern. These include files documenting his
work as chairman of the Illinois State Housing Board, studies of public
housing projects in Eastern Europe and Cuba, correspondence with the
Institute of Psychoanalysis in Chicago (of which he was a founding member)
and some of his early radio addresses and speeches. Completing the series
are miscellaneous items dating from 1898 and calling cards and invitations
from Berlin's diplomatic and social elite, received by Dodd during her
father's tenure as American ambassador to Germany.

The Correspondence series (ca. 1928-1990) contains letters dating
principally from 1960 to 1990 between Dodd and her friends, associates,
professional contacts, and members of the general public. The file is
replete with descriptions of her life as an exile in Cuba and
Czechoslovakia, thoughts regarding her political writings and beliefs, and
recollections of her past. During the post-World War II period, Dodd and
Stern were active in left-wing politics and friendly with members of the
Soviet and East European diplomatic corps. Their unsuccessful business
venture with Russian emigré Boris Morros was later exposed by Morros in the
early 1950s to be a front for espionage. Morros, a Soviet spy, who was
later turned double-agent by the Federal Bureau of Investigation,
implicated the Sterns, who then left the United States to live in Mexico.
Dodd's correspondence reflects her bitterness toward the United States
government for her exile and the indictment that followed in 1957 charging
Dodd and Stern with participating in Soviet espionage operations. Though
Dodd initially was eager to spend her exile in socialist Eastern Europe,
correspondence during the last decade of her life reveals an intense
disillusionment with socialism and a strong desire to relocate to England
or return to the United States. Also reflected in these letters are
admissions that she and Stern's lavish lifestyle did not always represent
their belief in radical and progressive causes.

Correspondence dating from the early 1930s relates mainly to her
experiences and travels in Europe during her father's tenure as United
States ambassador to Germany. William E. Dodd was not a professional
diplomat but was President Franklin D. Roosevelt's personal choice for the
sensitive Berlin post. Martha Dodd often acted as hostess for her father
during his Berlin service. Included are love letters written in German from
Boris Winogradov, a Soviet official at the USSR's embassy in Berlin at the
time Dodd was at the American embassy. Attached to his letters are notes by
Dodd summarizing the contents and describing relevant events and
circumstances surrounding his letters. Also of significance during this
period are letters from Mildred Harnack, an American intellectual living in
Berlin who was executed along with her German husband by order of Adolf
Hitler on charges of high treason. Dodd later researched the lives of both
Winogradov and Harnack, presumably with the intent of writing an article or
short story. Research materials regarding these correspondents can be found
in the Writings series of the collection.

Dodd cultivated and maintained a lively correspondence with artists,
writers, actors, intellectuals, and others who shared her political
ideology and traveled in the same social circles. Some of these prominent
and frequent correspondents include Max Delbrück, W. E. B. Du Bois, Lion
Feuchtwanger, Donald Klopfer, Corliss Lamont, Albert Maltz, Dexter Masters,
H. L. Mencken, Arthur Miller, Letitia Ratner, George B. Roberts, Paul and
Eslanda Goode Robeson, William L. Shirer, Carleton Smith, Gale Sondergaard,
José Venturelli, and Thomas Wolfe.

The largest portion of the Writings series (1934-1982) is comprised of
manuscripts and publication copies of Dodd's newspaper and magazine
articles. Since most articles were written during her exile, many of the
publication copies are in Chinese, Spanish, Czech, German, and Russian.
Reflecting her bias towards socialist ideology, the articles pertain to
topics such as the Cuban revolution, the Cold War, the civil rights
movement in the United States, and the war in Vietnam.

Contracts, reviews, revision copies, and other materials relating to her
books are also contained in the Writings. Of special note are comments and
quotes by prominent writers and intellectuals used by Dodd's publishers to
advertise her books. Included are quotes by Sean O'Casey, Albert Einstein,
Katherine Anne Porter, Carl Sandburg, and Thomas Mann. The series also
contains drafts of screenplays by Dodd, Kay Fanin, and Ring Lardner,
correspondence with Hollywood producer and director Otto Preminger, and
story treatments and other materials relating to a Hollywood film project,
based on her books Ambassador Dodd's Diary and Through Embassy Eyes, which
was later canceled.

Other materials in the Writings include correspondence with publishers,
research data, short stories, press releases and statements, radio
addresses and speeches, and unfinished memoirs. Significant items include a
press release issued by Dodd and Stern upon their arrival in Czechoslovakia
after their 1957 indictment and memoirs recording Dodd's eyewitness account
of Soviet tanks rolling through the streets of Prague in 1968. Themes in
her short stories, most of which are undated but probably written during
the 1930s and 1940s, are often based on Dodd's personal experiences,
particularly those during her life in Nazi Germany.

The Scrapbooks series (1927-1945) completes the collection. Comprised of
newspaper and magazine clippings, most of the scrapbooks contain
announcements and reviews of Dodd's books. Others pertain to Stern and his
work as chairman of the Illinois State Housing Board and other activities.
