Reviews
"One of our most talented historians tackles one of American history's most enigmatic figures. Lucy Parsons lived a life full of contradictions: an ex-slave who convinced the world she was Mexican, an anarchist who loved fashion, the wife of an ex-Confederate turned socialist. Goddess of Anarchy is at once a fascinating biography and a window onto the tumultuous debates of the Gilded Age." -Karl Jacoby, author of The Strange Career of William Ellis: The Texas Slave Who Became a Mexican Millionaire, " Goddess of Anarchy displays the powers of a master historian, taking the reader to both post-Civil War Texas and to Gilded Age Chicago."-- ChicagoTribune, "[A] tough-mindedbiography of a fiery revolutionary whose activism spanned the decades fromReconstruction to the New Deal...comprehensiveand fair."-- Kirkus Reviews, "Jones's book persuasively explains both the causes for which Parsons fought as well as inconsistencies apparent in her character and actions. This readable biography will appeal to readers with many interests, including the history of women's studies, radicalism, labor, race relations, urbanism, and especially Chicago."-- Library Journal, "This dramatic andimpressive book vividly brings the tumultuous and tragic life of ex-slave andAmerican revolutionary Lucy Parsons to what should be a large audience. Eventhose of us who cherish a more heroic view of Parsons' life in struggle willlearn enormously from this meticulously researched and learned biography."-- David Roediger, author of Class,Race and Marxism, "Jacqueline Jones hasproduced a stunning, meticulously researched, complex narrative of LucyParsons, America's first black woman anarchist."-- Kali Nicole Gross, author of HannahMary Tabbs and the Disembodied Torso: A Tale of Race, Sex, and Violence inAmerica, "Lucy Parsons was a unique figure in the history of the American left: eloquent, beautiful, uncompromising in her anarchist faith, and loath to embrace her mixed-race identity. Jacqueline Jones, one of our nation's most distinguished historians, fills her narrative of this remarkable life with both the vivid drama and the critical understanding it deserves." -- Michael Kazin, author of WarAgainst War: The American Fight for Peace, 1914-1918, "Jones impresses with thisrichly detailed and empathetic study of a complex figure."-- Publishers Weekly, "In disentangling the riddle of Lucy Parsons, one of America's most famous Anarchists, Jones has written an important biography."-- National Book Review, "With remarkableresearch and insight, the distinguished historian Jacqueline Jones hasrecovered the life and thought of an extraordinary historical figure who webarely knew."-- Steven Hahn, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of A Nation Under Our Feet: Black Political Struggles in the Rural Southfrom Slavery to the Great Migration, "Thanks to Goddess of Anarchy ...readers finally have a penetrating account of Parsons's long, remarkable life."-- New York Review of Books, "An outstanding book.... Jones' fascinating portrait presents an enigmatic, unpredictable activist whosustained a lifelong oratory and writing career."-- Booklist, "No scholar has donemore to illuminate the tangled politics of race and class in American historythan Jacqueline Jones.... A richly revealing story, brilliantly told."-- Michael Willrich, author of Pox: AnAmerican History and City of Courts, "One of our most talented historians tackles one of American history's most enigmatic figures.... Goddess of Anarchy is at once a fascinating biography and a window onto the tumultuous debates of the Gilded Age."-- Karl Jacoby, author of TheStrange Career of William Ellis: The Texas Slave Who Became a MexicanMillionaire

Synopsis
From a prize-winning historian, a new portrait of an extraordinary activist and the turbulent age in which she lived Goddess of Anarchy recounts the formidable life of the militant writer, orator, and agitator Lucy Parsons. Born to an enslaved woman in Virginia in 1851 and raised in Texas-where she met her husband, the Haymarket "martyr" Albert Parsons-Lucy was a fearless advocate of First Amendment 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. Drawing on a wealth of new sources, Jacqueline Jones presents not only the exceptional life of the famous American-born anarchist but also an authoritative account of her times-from slavery through the Great Depression., From a prize-winning historian, a new portrait of an extraordinary activist and the turbulent age in which she lived Goddess of Anarchy recounts the formidable life of the militant writer, orator, and agitator Lucy Parsons.
