GANZ, MARIE, and FERBER, NAT. JOSEPH. Rebels; into anarchy—and out again. il *$2 (3c) Dodd
20–219
Marie Ganz, daughter of a Hester street pushcart peddler, came from Galicia to America in 1896, when she was five years old. After her father’s death in 1899, she never knew what it was to have time to play, tho she did not work the regular twelve-hour day in a sweatshop until she was thirteen. She made friends among Russian socialists and anarchists, joining the latter group, and preached war upon the capitalists. She organized strikes, led mobs, got into prison and out again, and finally broke her connection with the anarchist group. She tells us: “I had learned much and changed much since that day when I led the mob into the capitalist stronghold, and the old rancours were gone forever.... My work is not over ... but, in the effort to help the poor and downtrodden, it is to run in other lines hereafter.”

“Although the apostasy of Marie Ganz furnished the occasion for her book, it is the period of her rebellion that engages one’s interest and gives the book its attraction.”
