We were never supposed to know her name! Mary Harris Jones was a poor Irish immigrant from Co. Cork, who survived famine and war, fire and plague. The robber barons called her “the most dangerous woman in America,” but workers called her “Mother Jones.”For more than 40 years she educated, agitated, and organized the dispossessed and showed America what it could be. With the gap between the rich and poor growing wider by the day it is time that her story and the fierce struggles of working families are brought back to life.
