Mildred Adams Kenyon (1894 – November 5, 1980, New York City[1]) was an American journalist, writer, translator, and critic of Spanish literature.
Her sister-in-law, Dorothy Kenyon, was also a prominent politically active New York attorney who in 1950 was the first person to appear before the Senate Foreign Relations Subcommittee investigating charges by Sen. Joseph McCarthy concerning membership in Communist-front organizations.
One of her favorite books - a decades-long project - was a biography of Garcia Lorca, which brought to light new information about the poet's stay in the United States.
Several months after her death, Mildred Adams's papers were deposited in the Arthur and Elizabeth Schlesinger Library on the History of Women in America at Radcliffe College.
