Agnes Smedley Knihy
Agnes Smedleyová bola americká novinárka a spisovateľka, známa svojím kritickým pohľadom na politické a sociálne otázky svojej doby. Zameriavala sa predovšetkým na Čínu, kde sympaticky opisovala komunistické sily počas občianskej vojny a zapájala sa do rôznych činností, vrátane špionáže. Jej písanie často čerpalo z osobných skúseností a odrážalo jej angažovanosť v boji za nezávislosť Indie, práva žien a iné sociálne príčiny. Smedleyová svojím literárnym štýlom prinášala do západného sveta pohľady na zložité medzinárodné konflikty a sociálne hnutia.

Agnes Smedley, author of Daughter of Earth , worked in and wrote about China from 1928 to 1941. These 18 pieces—all out of print and most unavailable even in public libraries—are based on interviews with revolutionary women. They include descriptions of the massacre of feminists in the Canton commune, of the silk workers of Canton whose solidarity earns them the charge of lesbianism, and of Mother Tsai, a 60-year-old peasant who leads village women in smashing an opium den.
