- Summary:
- Dear Unknown Friend relates the story of US and Soviet pen pals amid the early Cold War. The correspondents, all of them women, approached each other with curiosity and an eye toward coexistence. Their letters--initially tolerated by censors on both sides--revealed the humanity of the enemy and inspired the women to reexamine their own societies.
