Opis

"It is splendid, finally, to have this novel back in print . . . . Nothing before or since has so successfully captured the political and emotional spirit of the women's strike of 1909." Alice Kessler-Harris, Rutgers University"Malkiel was a politically sophisticated and well-seasoned socialist organizer and propagandist, and she used the medium of the diary1to draw out certain lessons about the relationship of class and gender from the events of the strike. Francoise Basch's fine introduction provides the necessary context and makes Malkiel's novel/political tract readily accessible to today's readers." Mary Jo Buhle, Brown University"
