The Lives Of Agnes Smedley (QuakerBooks)

The Lives Of Agnes Smedley

BY RUTH PRICE

Brief Description:
Was she a selfless political activist? A feminist heroine? A gifted writer who rose from poverty to become a leading journalist and author of the cult classic Daughter of Earth? A spy for the Soviet Union? Fermenter of armed rebellion? It seems she was all these things. This vibrant book brings to life one of the twentieth century's most fascinating women on her unlikely trajectory from Quaker lineage in a small Missouri town to the coal country of Colorado; to Berkeley, to Berlin, Moscow, and China. Fueled by a fury at injustice, Smedley threw herself headlong into the issues of the time, from Indian independence to birth control, women's rights, and the revolution in China.
