Praise for Iron in Her Soul
"Iron in Her Soul is a powerful, if poignant, rendering of the lost life and work of Elizabeth Gurley Flynn, America's foremost woman communist. Exquisite in its balance of the personal and the political, the book makes an important contribution to the histories of American radicalism and of American feminism. Helen Camp's painstaking research is invaluable."
Ellen Chesler, author Woman of Valor: Margaret Sanger and the Birth Control Movement in America
"As one whose acquaintance with Elizabeth Gurley Flynn began in 1940, I usually thought of her as a gentle, motherly woman who listened intently in conversation while she penetrated one's inner thoughts with her soft, sad eyes.
Thanks to Helen Camp, I now perceive her as a whole person: a young, impassioned trade unionist with fire in her heart, a passionate lover of both men and women, a loving mother, and a shrewd critic of, and practitioner in, the radical politics of her time.
Helen Camp's empathy and broad historical perspective give life and warmth to a biography worthy of Elizabeth, a woman devoted to the cause of the oppressed, who exposed many of the shams and hypocrisies of her society, suffered greatly, and yet remained a loving and compassionate human being."
Junius Scales, author Cause at Heart: A Former Communist Remembers
Page ii
"Helen Camp has written a book that is a splendid blend of the personal and the political and done so with great sensitivity. Her biography combines an unusual knowledge of the political movements in which Elizabeth Gurley Flynn was active with a remarkable awareness of Flynn as leader, wife, and mother."
Dorothy Healey, author Dorothy Healey Remembers: A Life in the American Communist Party
"This first full-length study of Elizabeth Gurley Flynn's sixty years of radical activism gives new meaning to the phrase `the fighting Irish.' Exploring Gurley Flynn's remarkable career from her teenage beginnings as a leader of the IWW free-speech fight in Spokane to her last years as `the grand old lady' of the American Communist Party, the book illuminates not only an extraordinary life but also the history of American radicalism in the twentieth century. Throughout the long decline of the American Left, Elizabeth Gurley Flynn maintained hope, courage, and a cheerful determination to fight for the rights of America's working class. On grounds not only of longevity but also of sheer guts, Elizabeth Gurley Flynn was surely the most notable American radical of the twentieth century."
Susan Armitage, editor The Woman's West
"While other writers have dealt with various aspects of Elizabeth Gurley Flynn's career, Iron in Her Soul spans Flynn's entire remarkable life. For a single individual to have been the most important female member of the IWW and also the most significant female American communist is amazing. Flynn's charisma, courage, and dedication to a single cause comes through clearly. Her odyssey from one radical group to another and her various dissatisfactions with each provides important insights into the American Left."
Katherine G. Aiken University of Idaho
"This is a valuable addition to the literature on American radicalism; a unique perspective on working-class movements in the United States."
