Muriel
Rukeyser, author, poet, and editorial free lance
writer, came to the attention of the FBI when
a background investigation for suitability was
initiated in 1943. Ms. Rukeyser was employed
as a copywriter in government employment with
the Office for Emergency Management. The investigation
terminated when she resigned from her position
a few months later. A security investigation
into Rukeyser's communist activities started
as the suitability investigation ended. Investigation
determined that Rukeyser was a member of numerous
organizations which were cited by the Attorney
General or House Committee on Un-American Activities
as communist front organizations.
