Throughout her life, she worked as an actress, journalist, lecturer, and diplomat. One of the biggest research strengths of Cartwright’s papers is how they show the idealism surrounding the formation of the United Nations (UN), created as an instrument to bring world peace following the horrors of World War II. Dr. Cartwright was also heavily involved in the arts, including film and Broadway.
