Flynn, Elizabeth Gurley. 1955. The Rebel girl: An Autobiography, my first life. (1906- 1926). NY: International Publishers.
This autobiography details the first twenty years of Flynn’s life as an agitator for workers and women’s rights. Written during her imprisonment for being a communist, Flynn was unable to make changes or see the final product. The book covers her early years then expands to her activities as an IWW agitator and involvement in various strikes. Photos of the author at rallies, socialist friends, and mementos are included. The book also includes a scanned copy of a letter from Joe Hill, an agitator and songwriter who was executed for a crime he did not commit. Flynn never finished the second half of her autobiography as she chose to focus on her experience in prison and speak at rallies.
