This gritty autobiographical novel recreates the amazing life story of an American working class woman. Revered writer and activist Agnes Smedley worked to advance the cause of human justice on three continents as a writer and political activist. Here, she relives in fictionalized form her first thirty-three years—growing up on the wrong side of the tracks; discovering double standards of class, race, and sex among East Coast intellectuals; facing false espionage charges; and maintaining her independence through two tormented marriages.

Republished for the Light on China series, this book is the personal account of journalist Agnes Smedley (1892-1950), an American woman and war correspondent, who visited Chinese resistance units under both Communist and Kuomintang leaders in the war zone from November 1938 to April 1941. This book compiles Smedley's letters during her travels, which some historians consider to be the longest tour of the Chinese war by any foreign correspondent, man or woman.
