Rhea Clyman was a ground-breaking female journalist. In the 1920s, a time when it was almost unheard of for women to do so, she became a foreign news correspondent writing for the Toronto Telegram and London Daily Express. She was integral to revealing the Holodomor to the West. 
"The great Ukrainian capital was in the grip of hunger. Beggars swarmed round the streets, the stores were empty, the workers’ bread rations had just been cut from two pounds a day per person to one pound and a quarter," Rhea Clyman noted as she traveled through Kharkiv.
Clyman was eventually expelled from the Soviet Union for her reporting on the #Holodomor, which highlighted the living conditions and starvation being experienced by Ukrainians.
