The Rebel Girl

Elizabeth Gurley Flynn

This petition of the first part of Elizabeth Gurley Flynn’s author biography has been reedited in accordance with her wishes. She had prepared the manuscript during very trying times. Her trial under the Smith Act took place in Foley Square, New York, in 1952. In the years immediately following, she was engaged in the exhausting processes of appeal and defense, not only in her case but on behalf of the many Communist leaders who were victims of that thought-control prosecution. She began serving her sentence at the Federal Women’s Reformatory at Alverson, West Virginia in January 1955 and was not released until May 1957.
