The Politics of Gender in the Writings of Anna Louise Strong By Rebecca B. Jackson
“Out of the conflicts that raged around the Union Record, loneliness and confusion grew for me. As once I had clung to the hollow form of independence while eastern monopoly took control of my child welfare exhibits, so now I clung to the outworn form of comradeship, though the old comrades called each other traitors. There began to arise in me the longing of the pioneer to escape from the insoluble problems of the human society around me. Whither could I flee from the empty dissensions, from the deadening yet bitter reaction in which the exultant faith of our Seattle revolution so unaccountably had perished?”— Anna Louise Strong, 1935
