Rayna Prohme

Rayna Prohme (1894 - 1927) was a journalist who covered the communist movement in China in the late 1920s.

Biography

She was born Rayna Simons, the daughter of a successful Jewish businessman. She graduated from the University of Illinois in 1917,[1][2] where she befriended Dorothy Day.[3] Day's book, The Long Loneliness, describes their activities reading socialist novellas and joining the Socialist Party of America.[4]

From 1918 to 1922 she was married to Samson Raphaelson, a marriage that ended in divorce.[1] She later met and married William "Bill" Prohme who worked for William Randolph Hearst's San Francisco Examiner. They moved to China, where Prohme's sister, Grace Simons was working in China.[5]

In 1926 she started working with Eugene Chen who was publishing the People's Tribune.[6][1] Prohme and the American journalist Milly Bennett edited the People's Tribune in Hankou from 1926 until July 1927.[7] While in China, Prohme was among the people admiring Mikhail Markowitsch Borodin, whom Lenin had sent to China in September 1923.[1] Jointly Prohme and Bennett wrote a speech in which Soong Ching-ling, Sun Yat-sen's wife, resigned from her government position, and then Prohme helped her leave Hankou[7] and make her way to Russia.[3][8] Prohme also met the American screen writer Vincent Sheean in 1926 and he would eventually dedicate his memoir, Personal History, to Prohme whom he called "a marvelously pure flame".[9] Within Personal History, Sheean talks about Prohme's work in China.[10][11] He also talks about his relationship to her in an article published in the Atlantic Monthly.[12]

Anna Louise Strong tried to help Prohme when she became ill;[3] however, Prohme died on November 21, 1927,[13][14] and was cremated in Russia.[15] A book of Prohme's letters about her reporting during the Chinese Revolution was published after her death.[16]
