About
Judith Robinson (April 6, 1897 – December 17, 1961) was a Canadian journalist, feminist and activist. She was known as 'Brad' by family and friends. Robinson was best known as an investigative Canadian journalist during the Depression, the Second World War and until her death in 1961. Daughter of a prominent Canadian newspaperman, she went to work for The Globe of Toronto in 1928 where she was to make her name as a progressive journalist, a fighter for social justice, and a lifelong watchdog on the actions of governments. She specialized in social causes, particularly pushing for help for the underprivileged, wounded veterans or victims of short-sighted bureaucracy. She was also the author of a well-known biography Tom Cullen of Baltimore (1949) about the leading Canadian gynecologist and cancer surgeon, Thomas Stephen Cullen. She died in Glenora, Ontario in 1961.
