[8] Her conclusions about Japan's wartime economic status were regularly summarized and reported in newspapers.

She testified before a Senate subcommittee in 1952, and "vigorously denied" any pro-Communist bias in her editorial work.

[15] In addition to her many contributions to Far Eastern Survey, Farley's research appeared in the journals Current History,[16] Pacific Affairs,[17][18] and The New York Review of Books.

She left behind a legacy of scholarly contributions to political science and a body of work that continues to inform studies of U.S.–Asia relations.
