Ida Rauh 1877-1970 born into a wealthy family was a trailblazer who rebelled against her upper-class upbringing and who had a great impact on American theater and the struggle for women's rights. After graduating from New York University in 1902 with a law degree she settled in Greenwich Village and began advocating for causes such as women's voting rights the promotion of birth control and the espousal of socialist doctrine. She married Max Eastman and together they heavily influenced the birth of modern theater and the early twentieth-century underground press through the Provincetown Players and the publication The Masses. During this time Rauh also made major contributions to the organization of women’s trade unions and related strike activities.

O.P. <br/><br/>This English translation contains an autobiography by Mironov which was not in the Russian edition. It details his anti-Marxism philosophy while a student in Leningrad. "The author has assimilated a large body of foreign scholarship primarily "new social history" produced by Anglo-American authors along with a sprinkling of more broadly European economic and demographic history from the 1970s and 1980s which is effectively incorporated into his own very deep empirical knowledge. . The reader does not find in this extensively researched account the standard Soviet answers to specific historical questions. Mironov has abandoned most Soviet cliches though he still assumes that laws of Russian history can be identified based on social science theory and quantitative analysis Elise Kimerling Wirtschafter." "This is a massterful work that provides other scholars with a wealth of useful information while confrontimg them with an argument that compels a response - William G. Wagner." Maps.

First Edition. 12mo 7 1/4 x 5 inches; 183 x 126 mm 40 pages in stapled wrappers. <br /> <br />A spirited -- rollicking even! -- essay with attacks on "fakers" "impostors" "swindlers" and other enemies of the working class. <br /> <br />May Day is the true holiday of the proletariat the author says while Labor Day in the U.S. is fake because it "sticks to the hollow pretense of a brotherhood between capital and labor." <br /> <br />Issued by the radical Socialist Labor Party the pamphlet argues that American labor leaders have eagerly embraced the capitalist class. "The 'labor' leaders travel through the country in the grandest style stop at the 'swellest' hotels--often as not manned with non-union labor. Where they go liquor flows expensively and plentifully--sometimes swinishly." page 30 <br /> <br />The author Olive M. Johnson 1872-1954 was a longtime activist editor and pamphleteer for the Socialist Labor Party. <br /> <br />This pamphlet is peak agit-prop.
