Autobiography of Mother Jones
'Autobiography of Mother Jones' Summary
Mother Jones, a legendary labor organizer, recounts her remarkable life in this autobiography. The book details her journey from a young Irish immigrant to a fierce advocate for workers' rights. Through her words, we see the brutal realities of industrial America in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, including child labor, dangerous working conditions, and the struggle for unionization. Jones's experiences as a coal miner's wife, her involvement in major strikes, and her founding role in the International Workers of the World (IWW) are vividly portrayed. The book offers a powerful glimpse into the history of labor movements and the fight for social justice.Book Details
