Goddess of Anarchy - The Life and Times of Lucy Parsons, American Radical (Hardcover)
Expected to ship within 9 - 17 working days

From a prize-winning historian, a new portrait of an extraordinary
activist and the turbulent age in which she lived Goddess of
Anarchy recounts the formidable life of the militant writer,
orator, and agitator Lucy Parsons. Born to an enslaved woman in
Virginia in 1851 and raised in Texas-where she met her husband, the
Haymarket "martyr" Albert Parsons-Lucy was a fearless advocate of
First Amendment rights, a champion of the working classes, and one
of the most prominent figures of African descent of her era. And
yet, her life was riddled with contradictions-she advocated
violence without apology, concocted a Hispanic-Indian identity for
herself, and ignored the plight of African Americans. Drawing on a
wealth of new sources, Jacqueline Jones presents not only the
exceptional life of the famous American-born anarchist but also an
authoritative account of her times-from slavery through the Great
Depression.
