Jean Iris Ross Cockburn ( KOH-bərn; 7 May 1911 – 27 April 1973) was a British writer, political activist, and film critic. She was a life-long member of the Communist Party of Great Britain. During the Spanish Civil War (1936–39), she was a war correspondent for the Daily Express and is alleged to have been a press agent for the Comintern. A skilled writer, Ross was also a film critic for The Daily Worker, and her criticisms of early Soviet cinema were later described as "ingenious piece[s] of dialectical sophistry." Throughout her life, she wrote political criticism and anti-fascist polemics, as well as manifestos for a number of disparate organisations such as the British Workers' Film and Photo League.
