Acheson, Lila Bell(born Dec. 25, 1889, Virden, Man., Can.—died May 8, 1984, Mount Kisco, N.Y., U.S.) U.S. publisher and, with her husband, DeWitt Wallace, founder of Reader's Digest magazine. During World War I she organized YWCA centres for women workers. She married Wallace in 1921, and the two published the first issue of Reader's Digest the following year. The magazine's success allowed the Wallaces to support various philanthropic endeavours—these were reorganized in 2003 as the Wallace Foundation. How to thank TFD for its existence?
