'''Anne Spencer Morrow Lindbergh''' (June 22, 1906 – February 7, 2001) was an American writer and aviator. She was the wife of decorated pioneer aviator [[Charles Lindbergh]], with whom she made many exploratory flights.

Raised in [[Englewood, New Jersey]], and later [[New York City]], Anne Morrow graduated from [[Smith College]] in [[Northampton, Massachusetts]], in 1928. She married Charles in 1929, and in 1930 became the first woman to receive a U.S. [[glider pilot]] license. Throughout the early 1930s, she served as radio operator and copilot to Charles on multiple exploratory flights and [[aerial survey]]s. Following the 1932 [[Lindbergh kidnapping|kidnapping and murder of their first-born infant child]], Anne and Charles moved to Europe in 1935 to escape the American press and hysteria surrounding the case, where their views shifted during the preliminary time of [[World War II]] towards an alleged sympathy for [[Nazi Germany]] and a concern for the United States' ability to compete with Germany in the war with their opposing air power. When they returned to America in 1939, the couple supported the isolationist [[America First Committee]] before ultimately expressing public support for the U.S. war effort after the 1941 [[Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor]] and subsequent [[German declaration of war against the United States]].

After the war, she moved away from politics and wrote extensive poetry and nonfiction that helped the Lindberghs regain their reputation, which had been greatly damaged since the days leading up to the war. She authored the popular ''[[Gift from the Sea]]'' (1955), and became an inspirational figure for many American women.  According to ''[[Publishers Weekly]]'', the book was one of the top nonfiction bestsellers of the 1950s.<ref name="rank">Alice Payne Hackett. ''70 years of bestsellers: 1895-1965'' (1967), p, 162</ref> After suffering a series of [[strokes]] throughout the 1990s that left her disoriented and disabled, Anne died in 2001 at the age of 94.

Morrow and Lindbergh met on December 21, 1927, in [[Mexico City]].<ref name="unicorn">

At the time, Anne Morrow was a shy 21-year-old senior at Smith College. Lindbergh was a famous aviator whose solo flight across the Atlantic made him a hero of immense proportions.<ref name="nytimes"/> The sight of the boyish aviator, who was staying with the Morrows, tugged at Morrow's heartstrings. She would write in her diary:
{{quote|He is taller than anyone else—you see his head in a moving crowd and you notice his glance, where it turns, as though it were keener, clearer, and brighter than anyone else's, lit with a more intense fire.... What could I say to this boy? Anything I might say would be trivial and superficial, like pink frosting flowers. I felt the whole world before this to be frivolous, superficial, ephemeral.<ref name="unicorn"/>}}

They were married in a private ceremony on May 27, 1929, at the home of her parents in Englewood, New Jersey.<ref name="charles">[http://www.charleslindbergh.com/anne/timeline.asp "Anne Morrow Lindbergh Biography Timeline."] ''Charles Lindbergh.''

==Kidnapping of son==
{{Main|Lindbergh kidnapping}}
On March 1, 1932, the Lindberghs' first child, 20-month-old [[Lindbergh kidnapping|Charles Augustus Lindbergh Jr.]], was kidnapped from their home, [[Highfields (Amwell and Hopewell, New Jersey)|Highfields]], in [[East Amwell, New Jersey]], outside [[Hopewell, New Jersey|Hopewell]].{{#tag:ref|
While the world's attention was focused on Hopewell, from which the first press reports about the kidnapping were dispatched, ''[[The Hunterdon County Democrat]]'' emphasized the fact that the new home of the Lindberghs was located in East Amwell Township, Hunterdon County.<ref>Gill, Barbara.

After the discovery of the ladder, police turned their attention inside the home and searched the nursery. Before calling the police, Lindbergh had found a plain white envelope on the windowsill and, believing it was a ransom note, left it there for the police to examine. Corporal Frank Kelly, an expert in crime-scene photography and fingerprints, was part of the group investigating the child's disappearance. On the envelope, a smudged fingerprint was discovered. Inside the envelope was a detailed ransom note from the kidnapper, demanding $50,000 in cash. The evidence was sent to the state official in charge, Major Schoeffel.<ref>{{Cite book|title=Anne Morrow Lindbergh|last=Hertog|first=Susan|publisher=Random House, Inc.|date=November 1999|isbn=978-0-385-46973-9|location=United States|pages=167–168}}</ref>

After a massive investigation, a baby's body presumed to be that of Charles Lindbergh Jr. was discovered on May 12, 1932, approximately four miles (6.5 km) from the Lindbergh home, at the summit of a hill on the Hopewell–Mt. Rose highway.<ref>Lyman, Lauren D. "Press calls for action: Hopes the public will be roused to wipe out a 'national disgrace'." ''The New York Times,'' December 24, 1935, p. 1.</ref>

==Retreat to Europe==
The press paid frenzied attention to the Lindberghs after the kidnapping of their son and the trial, conviction, and execution of [[Richard Hauptmann]] for the crime. This—and threats and press harassment of their second son Jon—prompted the family to retreat to the United Kingdom, to a house called [[Long Barn]] owned by [[Harold Nicolson]] and [[Vita Sackville-West]], and later to the small island of [[Île Illiec|Illiec]], off the coast of [[Brittany]] in France.<ref>Winters 2006, p. 193.</ref>

While in Europe during the 1930s, the Lindberghs came to advocate [[isolationism|isolationist views]] and an opposition to American involvement in the impending European conflict, which led to their fall from grace in the eyes of many and widespread suspicion that the couple might be Nazi sympathizers. There exists evidence to support that Anne was an admirer of Hitler and shared many of her husband's anti-immigrant and antisemitic views.

==Return to U.S.==
In April 1939, the Lindberghs returned to the United States. Because of his outspoken beliefs about a future war that would envelop their homeland, the antiwar [[America First Committee]] quickly adopted Charles as its leader in 1940.<ref name="Jennings and Brewer p. 420"/>

In 1940, Anne published a 41-page booklet, ''The Wave of the Future: A Confession of Faith'', which "swiftly became the No. 1 nonfiction bestseller in the country."<ref>{{cite book |last1=Olson |first1=Lynne |title=Those Angry Days |date=2013 |publisher=Random House |location=New York |page=245}}</ref> Writing in support of her husband's lobbying efforts for a U.S.-German peace treaty similar to [[Adolf Hitler|Hitler's]] [[Treaty of Non-Aggression between Germany and the Soviet Union|Non-Aggression Treaty]] with [[Joseph Stalin]],<ref name="NYTImes-2001.12.30">Plunket, Robert.

After the [[Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor]] and [[German declaration of war against the United States|Germany's declaration of war against the U.S.]], the America First Committee disbanded, and Charles eventually managed to become involved in the military and enter combat only as a civilian consultant, flying 50 missions in this role and even shooting down an enemy aircraft.<ref>[http://www.eyewitnesstohistory.com/lindbergh2.htm "Charles Lindbergh in Combat, 1944."] ''EyeWitness to History'', 2006.

In this period, Anne met the French writer, poet and pioneering aviator [[Antoine de Saint-Exupéry]], author of the novella ''[[The Little Prince]]''.

After the war, Anne wrote books that helped the Lindberghs rebuild the reputations which they had lost before [[World War II]]. The publication of ''[[Gift from the Sea]]'' in 1955 earned her place as "one of the leading advocates of the nascent environmental movement" and became a national bestseller.<ref name="pbs">[https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/amex/lindbergh/sfeature/anne.html "Anne Morrow Lindbergh."] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170224084858/http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/amex/lindbergh/sfeature/anne.html |date=February 24, 2017 }} ''PBS.''

Over the course of their 45-year marriage, the Lindberghs lived in [[New Jersey]], New York, the United Kingdom, France, [[Maine]], [[Michigan]], [[Connecticut]], [[Switzerland]], and [[Hawaii]]. Charles died on the island of [[Maui]] in 1974.

According to one biographer, Anne had a three-year affair in the early 1950s with her personal doctor.<ref>Connelly, Sherryl.

According to Rudolf Schröck, author of ''Das Doppelleben des Charles A. Lindbergh'' ("The Double Life of Charles A.

His affair with Munich hat maker Brigitte Hesshaimer produced three children whom he supported financially. After Hesshaimer's passing in 2003, DNA tests conducted by the [[University of Munich]] proved that her three children were fathered by Lindbergh.<ref>[https://www.nytimes.com/2003/11/29/world/dna-proves-lindbergh-led-a-double-life.html?ref=annemorrowlindbergh "DNA Proves Lindbergh Led a Double Life."] ''The New York Times'', November 29, 2003.
