Widowed at the age of 30 when her husband and four young children died during a yellow fever epidemic, 'Mother Jones' spoke tirelessly and effectively throughout the late 19th and early 20th centuries on behalf of workers' rights and unionists, and played a significant role in organizing mining strikes. She was instrumental in forming the UMW in 1890 and the IWW in 1905.
Among the most stirring works of labour history ever written, this book chronicles the life of a woman who was considered a saint by many, and by others "the most dangerous woman in America."
Unabridged edition of the work originally published in 1925.
