Known as Polly Pry, she ruffled feathers when she worked to free a convicted cannibal and when she battled the powerful Telluride miners' union. She was nearly murdered more than once. And a younger female colleague once said, \"Polly Pry did not just report the news, she made it!\" \u003cbr\u003eIn spite of herself, however, Campbell would become a respected journalist and establish herself as a champion for rights of the under-served in the early twentieth century, taking up the causes of women, children, laborers, victims and soldiers of war, and prisoners. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eJulia Bricklin is also the author of the only biography of female sharpshooter Lillian Frances Smith (University of Oklahoma Press: April 2017) and Burmah Adams and Tom White's 1933 LA crime spree in Blonde Rattlesnake (Lyons Press: June 2019).
