Quickly recognized as an outstanding public speaker and formidable organizer, she devoted her life to creating a socialist America, "free from poverty, exploitation, greed and injustice." Flynn became the most important female leader of the Industrial Workers of the World and of the American Communist Party, fighting tirelessly for workers' rights to organize and to express dissenting ideas. Weaving together Flynn's personal and political life, this biography reveals previously unrecognized connections between feminism, socialism, free love, and free speech. Flynn's remarkable career casts new light on the long and varied history of radicalism in the United States. About the Lives of American Women series: Selected and edited by renowned women's historian Carol Berkin, these brief biographies are designed for use in undergraduate courses. Rather than a comprehensive approach, each biography focuses instead on a particular aspect of a women's life that is emblematic of her time, or which made her a pivotal figure in the era. The emphasis is on a "good read," featuring accessible writing and compelling narratives, without sacrificing sound scholarship and academic integrity. Primary sources at the end of each biography reveal the subject's perspective in her own words. Study questions and an annotated bibliography support the student reader"--$cProvided by publisher. 410 0$aLives of American women. 606 $aWomen labor leaders$zUnited States$vBiography 606 $aCommunists$zUnited States$vBiography 606 $aWomen revolutionaries$zUnited States$vBiography 615 0$aWomen labor leaders 615 0$aCommunists 615 0$aWomen revolutionaries 676 $a335.00092 676 $aB 686 $aHIS000000$aHIS036060$aBIO022000$2bisacsh 700 $aVapnek$b Lara$f1967-$01700567 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910819312603321 996 $aElizabeth Gurley Flynn$94083676 997 $aUNINA
