From Wikipedia: "Margaret Butterworth Wettlin (aka Peg) was an American writer and translator, best known for her translations of Russian literature. A UPenn graduate, she lived in the Soviet Union for nearly 50 years and wrote a memoir Fifty Russian Winters: An American Woman s Life in the Soviet Union." Derived from a 2003 obiturary posted on-line: Margaret Butterworth Wettlin, 96, was a young idealist in 1932 who set out for a yearlong adventure in Russia and wound up staying for most of her life. When she returned to America in 1980, Mrs. Wettlin wrote her memoirs, Fifty Russian Winters, and had a Rip Van Winkle-like experience of finding an America different from the one she had left."
