*The Most Dangerous Woman in America* That's what employers and politicians called Mother Jones. But rebellious working men and women loved her as they have never loved anyone else, before or since. Today more than ever those who are struggling for a truly free society are inspired by her exemplary courage and devotion to the cause of solidarity and freedom. In this classic work of American nonfiction the greatest labor organizer in U.S. history details her three-quarter-century fight for labor's liberation, and her unswerving belief in industrial unionism as the key to that struggle. In steel, railroading, metal mining, textiles, and above all the coal industry, Mother Jones fought alongside strikers. In one company town after another–towns where officials bragged that not even Jesus would be allowed to say a word on labor's behalf–Mother Jones was heard. Here too is the exciting story of her crusade against child labor, her innovative efforts to organize working women, her experiences in court and in jail, and her daring involvement in the Mexican Revolution. Mother Jones' lively narrative–every page bristling with her characteristic humour, indignation, and uncommon sense–is a masterpiece of American radicalism.
