Snow, Helen Foster
▪ 1998

      American writer who produced some 40 works, mostly about China, that were less well known than those of her husband, Edgar Snow, but came to be considered superior; she was also instrumental in the creation of industrial cooperatives known as the Gung-Ho—from the Chinese gonghe, "working together"—movement and was proud of having added that term to the American vocabulary (b. Sept. 21, 1907—d. Jan. 11, 1997).
