Elizabeth Gurley Flynn Speaks at I. W. W. HQ in Spokane
From the Spokane Daily Chronicle of July 1, 1909:
WOMAN SPEAKER IS YOUNG GIRL
The hall of the Industrial Workers of the World was packed on Tuesday night to hear Elizabeth Gurley Flynn of New York. Miss Flynn spoke on “Industrial Unionism.”
The history of this speaker, who is known among the industrial unionists throughout the United States, is full of interest. She is but a girl of 19 years, and yet those who have heard her speak insist that her addresses show she has thought deeply upon the subject considered by her. One of her favorite subjects is “Industrial Unionism and woman’s Suffrage.”
A child of poor parents in New York, she was left destitute at the age of 13. At this early age, it is said, she began to think on the subjects on which she now makes her talks.
Miss Flynn left this city yesterday for Seattle. She will make several addresses in this city and in about a week return to the east.
