The Editor: How Publishing Legend Judith Jones Shaped Culture in America

Effective biography of Ms. Jones, whose efforts resulted in the English publication of Anne Frank’s diary and Julia Child’s popularization of French cuisine, inter alia. Though Jones herself might’ve been annoyed by an imputation of feminist doctrine and praxis, the biographer is conversant with the project of preserving female voices, including editorial efforts, which are revealed to have a central importance in the capitalist system of the production of ideas. There's no critique here of that system, except along the lines of gender discrimination and a couple of notes on race politics.

"Anne Frank's widespread resonance proved the power of individual voices within larger political events, and played a pivotal role in humanizing the lived experience of the Holocaust. Doubleday capitalized on Judith's shrewdness and temerity but didn't bring her along with the book's rewards; Judith and her actions were erased from the historicization of the diary's publication and success."
