Reviews for The Autobiography of Mother Jones

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Great Labor Day Read!
Mary Harris Jones, aka Mother Jones was an inspiration to all workers to make good trouble! She, herself, certainly did that. This is her own writing. . .more of a revelatory diary than an act of carefully considered writing to persuade. 5 stars for herself, her dedication and all that good trouble for which our children don't have to work, that gave us less hours to work per shift, weekends, and holidays off, and so much more. . .
