About this book
A woman ahead of her time, Lucy Parsons was an early American radical who
defied all the conventions of her turbulent era. Born in 1853 in Texas, she
was an outspoken black woman, radical writer and labour organiser. Parsons
led the defence campaign for the ”Haymarket martyrs,” which included her
husband Albert Parsons and remained active in the struggles of the
oppressed throughout her life. This is the unique and inspiring story of a
woman described in the 1920s by the Chicago police as ”more dangerous than
a thousand rioters”.
