She describes the ways in which she and her contemporaries rejected the intellectual and social restrictions imposed on women as they sought political and economic equality in the first half of the twentieth century. Rabinowitz devoted her labor and commitment to the notion that women should feel entitled to independence, equal rights, equal pay, and sexual and personal autonomy. Rabinowitz (1887-1963) immigrated to the United States from Ukraine at the age of thirteen. Radicalized by her experience in sweatshops, she became an organizer for the Industrial Workers of the World from 1912 to 1917 before choosing single motherhood in 1918. "Big Bill" Haywood once wrote,?a book could be written about Matilda,? but her memoir was intended as a private story for her grandchildren, Robbin Légère Henderson among them. Henderson?s black-and white-scratchboard drawings illustrate Rabinowitz?s life in the Pale of Settlement, the journey to America, political awakening and work as an organizer for the IWW, a turbulent romance, and her struggle to support herself and her child. 588 0 Print version record. 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription MasterFILE Reference Collection 600 10 Rabinowitz, Matilda,|d1887-1963. 610 20 Industrial Workers of the World|vBiography. 610 20 Socialist Party (U.S.)|vBiography. 610 27 Industrial Workers of the World.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst00545991 610 27 Socialist Party (U.S.)|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst00546868 648 7 1900-1999|2fast 650 0 Women in the labor movement|zUnited States|vBiography. 650 0 Women immigrants|zUnited States|vBiography. 650 0 Jewish women|zUnited States|vBiography. 650 0 Labor unions|xOrganizing|zUnited States|xHistory|y20th century. 650 7 BIOGRAPHY & AUTOBIOGRAPHY|xGeneral.|2bisacsh 650 7 BUSINESS & ECONOMICS|xLabor.|2bisacsh 650 7 POLITICAL SCIENCE|xLabor & Industrial Relations.|2bisacsh 650 7 Jewish women.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst00983062 650 7 Labor unions|xOrganizing.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst00990296 650 7 Women immigrants.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01177764 650 7 Women in the labor movement.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01178035 651 7 United States.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01204155 655 7 Biography.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01423686 655 7 History.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01411628 700 1 Henderson, Robbin,|ecommentator,|eillustrator. 700 1 DeVault, Ileen A.,|ewriter of afterword. 776 08 |iPrint version:|aRabinowitz, Matilda, 1887-1963. |tImmigrant girl, radical woman.|dIthaca : ILR Press, an imprint of Cornell University Press, 2017|z9781501709845 |w(DLC) 2017006130|w(OCoLC)973159730 914 on1005353525 994 92|bSTJ
