Her husband, Raja Hutheesing, also wrote books: ''The Great Peace: An Asian's Candid Report on Red China'' (1953), ''Window on China'' (1953), and ''Tibet fights for freedom : the story of the March 1959 uprising'' (1960).

Mrs. Hutheesing was associated with the '[[Voice of America]]' and gave several talks.
