From a prize-winning historian, a new portrait of an extraordinary activist and the turbulent age in which she lived<\/em><\/p>\n

Goddess of Anarchy<\/em> recounts the formidable life of the militant writer, orator, and agitator Lucy Parsons<\/a>. Born to an enslaved woman in Virginia<\/a> in 1851 and raised in Texas<\/a>-where she met her husband, the Haymarket<\/a> “martyr” Albert Parsons<\/a>-Lucy was a fearless advocate of First Amendment<\/a> rights, a champion of the working classes, and one of the most prominent figures of African descent of her era. And yet, her life was riddled with contradictions-she advocated violence without apology, concocted a Hispanic-Indian identity for herself, and ignored the plight of African Americans.<\/p>\n

Drawing on a wealth of new sources, Jacqueline Jones presents not only the exceptional life of the famous American-born anarchist<\/a> but also an authoritative account of her times-from slavery through the Great Depression<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
