Edith Anderson-Schröder (30 November 1915 – 13 April 1999) was a New York-born journalist, writer and translator whose political sympathies favoured Marxism. In 1947, she moved to Berlin, then in the Soviet occupation zone, and between 1949 and 1990 part of the German Democratic Republic (East Germany). Berlin was her home base for the rest of her life.
