by Mother Jones (Author), Mary Field Parton (Editor), Clarence Darrow (Introduction by)
Autobiography of Mother Jones is a book that tells the life story of Mary Harris Jones, commonly known as Mother Jones. She was an Irish-American labor and community organizer who fought for the rights of workers and their families during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The book is an account of her life, starting from her childhood in Ireland, through her immigration to the United States, and her work as a labor organizer. Mother Jones was involved in numerous labor strikes and protests, including the 1902 Coal Strike, where she played a crucial role in organizing and supporting the striking miners. The book also covers her involvement in the formation of the Industrial Workers of the World (IWW), a radical labor union that aimed to unite all workers regardless of race, gender, or skill level. The autobiography provides an insight into the life of a woman who dedicated her life to fighting for the rights of the working class and challenging the power structures that oppressed them. It is a powerful and inspiring story of resilience, determination, and activism that continues to inspire generations of labor activists and social justice advocates.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
