Elizabeth Gurley Flynn, Joan of Arc of Lawrence, Massachusetts

From the Pittsburgh Gazette Times of March 4, 1912:

The Militant Leader of the Textile Workers, Who Made Successful Appeal
for Funds for the Relief of the Wives and Children of the Workmen.

From Pennsylvania’s Franklin Evening News of March 5, 1912:

Elizabeth Gurley Flynn, fresh from her work at Lawrence, Mass., where she played a prominent part in organizing the textile workers on strike there, is making speeches in the larger cities over the country, telling of conditions existing in Lawrence and raising funds for the relief of the strikers. Miss Flynn, who is only 22 years old, first gained fame as a labor worker in New York. She is an able talker.

“The Lawrence strike is no labor union strike,” she is telling her audiences; “it is a starvation strike.”
