Biography

Adda von Bruemmer was born in Latvia, Russian Empire, the daughter of the Latvian lawyer and judge Leon von Bruemmer (1884–1967) and Anna von Kahlen. Von Bruemmer emigrated with her mother in 1918 and lived in the Free City of Danzig and from 1924 in Königsberg (Prussia). She studied law, economics and philosophy in Heidelberg and Berlin from 1930. In 1931, she passed an exam to become an interpreter in Mannheim and in 1933, she received a diploma from Sciences Po in Paris. After the transfer of power to the National Socialists in 1933, she left Germany.

Von Bruemmer was admitted to the Middle Temple Inn in the United Kingdom in 1933 and became a barrister at law in 1936. In 1936 she moved to the United States and received an LL.B. and a J.D. in 1937. Von Bruemmer married the American Virgil Bozeman in 1937 — they had a daughter — and the doctor Arne Barkhus in 1951.

Bozeman worked at the Hoover Institution until 1939 and at Augustana College, Rock Island, from 1943 to 1947. Bozeman was Professor of International Relations at Sarah Lawrence College in Bronxville from 1947 to 1977 and continued to publish thereafter.
