This article discusses the book "Daughter of Earth," by Agnes Smedley. The author writes about life more intensely than most of the people manage to live it. The story seems to have been propelled into being by urgency too desperate to be denied. It is told as if sheer emotion had made the words and poured them on the paper; there is no evidence anywhere of deliberate, conscious artifice, no apparent pattern, no "style. There are some who may object to this book for its tone of bitter, partisan violence. Let no one judge it without reading it through. Agnes Smedley knows that mountains can be beautiful and that love can be sweet.
