About Juliet Stuart Poyntz
- Juliet Stuart Poyntz (originally 'Points') (25 November 1886 – 1937) was an American suffragist, feminist, trade unionist and communist.
- As a student and university teacher, she espoused many radical causes and went on to become a co-founder of the Communist Party of the United States (CPUSA).
- Later she left CPUSA and began working as an intelligence agent for the Soviet Union.
- Poyntz travelled secretly to Moscow in 1936, just as some of her comrades were being executed in Joseph Stalin's Great Purge, and she resigned from the party.
- This is widely assumed to have led to her unexplained disappearance in New York City in June 1937 as the likely victim of an assassination squad, either because she had been mixing with Trotskyists, or because she was planning to write an exposé of the Soviet system.
