Edith Iglauer Daly (formerly Hamburger; March 10, 1917 – February 13, 2019) was an American writer who wrote several nonfiction books, including The New People: The Eskimo's Journey Into Our Time (1966);[1] Denison's Ice Road (1974),[2] a profile of the ice road engineer John Denison; and Seven Stones (1981), a profile of the architect Arthur Erickson.[3] She was also a freelance writer for The New Yorker, Harper's, The Atlantic Monthly, and Geist magazines.[4]
Edith Iglauer was born in Cleveland, Ohio, on March 10, 1917, to a family of German Jewish descent. She transferred to the Hathaway Brown School for Girls and subsequently pursued a bachelor's degree in political science at Wellesley College, followed by further education at the Columbia University School of Journalism.[5][6] Her interest in Eskimo culture led her to travel the northern climates extensively. Iglauer appeared as herself, along with John Denison, in the History Channel presentation, Ice Road Truckers.[7]
