Review # 1 was written on 2016-12-25 00:00:00 David Rumsey This is a great little bio of Mother Jones, and an important read, I think, for anyone who doesn't have a sense of he historic (ongoing) struggle for less exploitative and more just working conditions and compensation. My cousin fb posted the wonderful Rachel Maddow breakdown of the Rex Tillerson appointment yesterday and described Tillerson's approach to economics as "savage capitalism" and I keep thinking yes! And what are our alternatives. I think Mother Jones is fighting against savage capitalism and perhaps it takes an unflappable, brilliant, tough, charismatic leader like her to organize people. Do we have leaders like her today? I don't know. I'm not sure who to compare her to. But, her work was important and perhaps sacred, and I hope it wasn't a small step forward from which we are about to take giant step back.

Review # 2 was written on 2018-08-07 00:00:00 Michael Forrest Why not be wowed by A HERO WITH AN EPIC STORY OF ACHIEVEMENT AGAINST ALL ODDS FOLLOWED BY IMMENSE TRAGEDY THAT SHE REBOUNDED FROM WITH DETERMINATION, STRENGTH, LEADERSHIP AND INSPIRATION WHO STAYED AT THE TOP OF HER TOUGH-AS-NAILS GAME INTO HER 90s? This is Graphic Library in top form but I FIND THE 100% WHITE PEOPLE VERY INSULTING AND OFFENSIVE!- Shame on you Steve Erwin, your art was even full of large groups of people and there wasn't even black on any coal miner's faces! I'M FOREHEAD OVER TOES IN LOVE WITH MOTHER MARY HARRIS JONES WHO ENCHANTS ME AND STIRS UP TENDER EMOTION IN MY HEART! SHE IS AT THE TOP OF THE LIST OF PEOPLE WHO SHOULD BE IDOLIZED! SHE DESERVES A FULL GRAPHIC NOVEL- GIVE ME AN ARTIST AND I'LL WRITE AN UNDENIABLE SCRIPT.
