This novel, first published in l929 - written by a courageous woman who stood out for women's rights as far back as the late l800s - is practically autobiographical. She suffered extreme poverty and hardship in the States but managed to get herself educated despite opposition from every side and finally became relatively famous through her political friendships and for writing and publishing several non-fiction books. This book is gripping and harrowing at the same time.
