After graduating from Oxford, Pool began her career as a journalist. She worked for a number of different newspapers and magazines, and she quickly became known for her sharp wit and her incisive political commentary. In 1905, Pool married the American journalist Walter Lippmann. The couple moved to the United States, where they became active in the progressive movement.

Pool was a strong advocate for women's rights and social justice. She was a member of the National Woman's Party, and she worked tirelessly to promote the passage of the 19th Amendment, which granted women the right to vote. Pool was also a strong supporter of the League of Nations, and she played a key role in the organization's early development.

In the 1930s, Pool became increasingly involved in politics. She ran for Congress in 1936, and she served in the House of Representatives from 1937 to 1943. As a member of Congress, Pool was a vocal critic of the isolationist policies of the United States. She argued that the United States had a moral obligation to help the victims of fascism and to defend democracy around the world.

After leaving Congress, Pool continued to be active in public life. She wrote a number of books and articles on politics and culture, and she lectured widely on the importance of the transatlantic relationship. Pool died in 1969, but her legacy continues to inspire people around the world.

The Transatlantic Life of Rosey Pool is a fascinating account of the life and times of one of the most important figures in the history of the transatlantic relationship. This book tells the story of Pool's life and work, and examines the impact that he had on the world around him. The Transatlantic Life of Rosey Pool is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of the transatlantic world.
