Marta Romero-Delgado - Lucy Parsons (ES)

Lucy Parsons was an anarchist, feminist, trade unionist, writer, editor, and powerful orator born in the mid-19th century in the United States.

A self-taught woman of color, she delivered bold, eloquent, and passionate speeches and writings on social and political issues that were highly transgressive for her time. Despite a certain historical neglect of Lucy's life and work (even today she is better known as the life partner of Albert Parsons, one of the Chicago Martyrs), there is no doubt that both during her lifetime and posthumously, she leaves no one indifferent. Furthermore, her insightful and combative analyses, drawn from her struggles and direct actions, remain entirely relevant today. This is not only the first book about Lucy Parsons in Spanish, but also a compilation of the most important aspects of her life and much of her work, which was essential for understanding this incredible woman in all her complexity. Here begins our small tribute to Lucy Parsons: a forgotten anarchist but above all, a social fighter for all time.
