Biographical Note
Roberta Strauss Feuerlicht was born on November 23, 1931, in New York, NY, to Isaac and Lena (Wesler) Strauss. She received a bachelor’s degree in 1952 from Hunter College and married Herbert Alan Feuerlicht, a sculptor, on December 14, 1958. They had one son, Ira Mannes. Feuerlicht began her career as an associate editor of the Glen Oaks News in New York City (1952-1953). From 1953 to 1961, she was an editor with the Gilberton Co. of New York City. Following her position as the editorial director of This Month magazine (1961-1962), Feuerlicht spent the rest of her life as a freelance writer and editor. As a writer, she contributed to such publications as The New York Times, Ms., Natural History, and Saturday Evening Post. Feuerlicht was a member of the Authors Guild, and her books reflect her interest in history, politics, and social causes. Some of the author’s 18 books of history and biography include: Theodore Roosevelt, Ghandi, Joe McCarthy and McCarthyism: The Hate that Haunts America, and The Fate of the Jews: A People Torn Between Israeli Power and Jewish Ethics. In the early 1970s, Feuerlicht researched and wrote an untitled, unpublished manuscript relating to John F. Kennedy, his administration, and his family. Roberta Feuerlicht died in 1991.
