Summary

"A Feminist Press classic, reissued with a new introduction by Paola Mendoza, this semiautobiographical account of an early twentieth-century activist recounts growing up in rural poverty in farming settlements and mining towns; discovering the double standards of race and sex among East Coast intellectuals; facing false espionage charges; and maintaining independence through two difficult marriages. Daughter of Earth was one of the first works to explore sexism within the socialist movement"--, Provided by publisher
