Agnes Smedley

    23. únor 1892 – 6. květen 1950

    Agnes Smedleyová byla americká novinářka a spisovatelka, jejíž díla se často zabývala politickými a sociálními otázkami své doby. Ve své tvorbě se věnovala zejména Číně, kde sympaticky líčila komunistické síly během občanské války a působila v různých funkcích, včetně špionáže. Její psaní často čerpalo z osobních zkušeností a odráželo její angažovanost v boji za nezávislost Indie, práva žen a další sociální příčiny. Smedleyová svým literárním stylem přinášela do západního světa pohledy na složité mezinárodní konflikty a sociální hnutí.

      This gritty autobiographical novel recreates the amazing life story of an American working class woman. Revered writer and activist Agnes Smedley worked to advance the cause of human justice on three continents as a writer and political activist.
