Nine women : portraits from the American radical tradition / Judith Nies.

• Sarah Moore Grimk ̌-- Harriet Tubman -- Elizabeth Cady Stanton -- Mother Jones -- Charlotte Perkins Gilman -- Anna Louise Strong -- Dorothy Day -- Fanny Lou Hamer -- Bella Savitsky Abzug -- Women and the environmental movement -- Epilogue: The legacy of the radical tradition.

• In an expanded edition of her history of American women activists, Judith Nies has added biographical essays on feminist Bella Abzug and civil rights visionary Fannie Lou Hamer and a new chapter on women environmental activists. Included are portraits of Sarah Moore Grimke, who rejected her life as a Southern aristocrat and slaveholder to promote women's rights and the abolition of slavery; Harriet Tubman, an escaped slave who led more than three hundred slaves to freedom on the Underground Railway; Elizabeth Cady Stanton, the first woman to run for Congress, who advocated for women's rights to own property, to vote, and to divorce; Mother Jones, "the Joan of Arc of the coalfields," one of the most inspiring voices of the American labor movement; Charlotte Perkins Gilman, who worked for the reform of two of America's most cherished institutions, the home and motherhood; Anna Louise Strong, an intrepid journalist who covered revolutions in Russia and China; and Dorothy Day, cofounder of the Catholic Worker movement, who fed and sheltered the hungry and homeless in New York's Bowery for more than forty years.
