The Autobiography of Mother Jones (Polis & Praxis Red Series)'I am not a humanitarian. I am a hell-raiser.' - Mother JonesMary Harris 'Mother' Jones (1837-1930) was once branded the most dangerous woman in America-and she wore the name proudly. From the coal mines of West Virginia to the mills of Pennsylvania, she gave voice to the working class, rallied striking laborers, and fought tirelessly against child labor. Her story is not only the history of America’s labor movement-it is a timeless call to action.In this unforgettable Autobiography, Mother Jones recounts her life of grief and resilience, rebellion and solidarity, and the unshakable belief that ordinary people united can change the world. Her fiery words still ignite the spirit of resistance today.This edition includes:The complete Autobiography of Mother Jones in her own powerful voiceHer 1912 speech to striking coal miners - a historic call for unity and defiance in the face of brutal oppressionA new essay: A Timeless Call to Action: The Legacy of Mother Jones - connecting her battles to today’s struggles for justice, solidarity, and intersectional activismPart of the Polis & Praxis Red Series, bringing forward the voices of radical, progressive, and revolutionary thinkers from the 19th and 20th centuriesMother Jones never asked for permission to speak truth to power-she demanded it. She reminds us that courage is contagious, solidarity is power, and the fight for justice is never finished.Perfect for readers of labor history, social justice, political theory, or anyone seeking inspiration from one of America’s fiercest voices for the oppressed, The Autobiography of Mother Jones remains as urgent and electrifying today as when it was first published.
