Abstract
This essay draws on the surviving letters of an early 20th century Iowa woman who moved rapidly from participation in a local factory strike, to activism in some of the most radical political movements of the day, to career as a rural school teacher, to victim of domestic violence. Pearl McGill's life is both typical of the struggles and tragedies of working women and political activists, and is exceptional in its drama. Also exceptional is that her story survives at all.
