In 1906, fifteen-year old Elizabeth Gurley Flynn mounted a soapbox
in Times Square to denounce capitalism and proclaim a new era for
women's freedom. 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 woman'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.
