This article discusses the book "Speak My Own Piece," by Elizabeth Gurley Flynn. Her book of memoirs stops far short of her Communist conversion in 1937; it runs only to 1927, and another volume is promised to cover the later years. Her loyalty was always to "the workers," and she "hated those who exploited and betrayed them." Elizabeth Flynn came to her radicalism by inheritance from a Socialist Irish immigrant father and a free-thinking Irish mother. She has figured as a leader in the Communist Party, and currently she figures as a federal prisoner for taking part in the Communist conspiracy to overthrow the U.S. government.
