Description:

Widowed at the age of 30 when her husband and four young children died during a yellow fever epidemic, Mary Harris 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. An important addition to labor and feminist literature.
