Alice Rohe (January 15, 1876 – April 7, 1957) was an American author and journalist. Rohe served as the first female bureau chief of a major American press service in World War I.[1]
Alice Rohe was born January 15, 1876, in Lawrence, Kansas, United States.[1] During the first World War she reported from Italy for the United Press. She wrote about the principality of "San Marino" who served as one of America's smallest ally. She was arrested for spying twice but each time she was released. A later comment by George Creel described her as a "volunteer" which implies that she may have been serving as a spy.[1]
Rohe came back to the United States in 1935. She died on April 7, 1957, and donated her collection of Etruscan artifacts to the University of Kansas.[1]
