Paperback edition. ISBN: 9780252065439.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDorothy Markeys family and culture prepared her to be a proper southern lady. Yet Markey broke free of her cultural bonds and became, instead, a feminist, a communist, and, under the pen name Myra Page, a radical journalist and novelist. Her activism on behalf of social justice, racial equality, and womens rights spanned the 1920s through her death in 1993.\nPages work carried her far from her Virginia home to Moscow, Mexico, the rural South, and New York. As a journalist she wrote for the Daily Worker, the New Masses, Working Woman, and Southern Worker. Her novels captured workers struggles in an authentic voice: The Gathering Storm, Daughter of the Hills, and Moscow Yankee.\nWith consummate skill, Christina Baker weaves together historical research, her own and others conversations with Page, and Pages letters and other writings. The resulting narrative is a vivid recreation of the life of an uncommon woman and her more than seventy years of striving for the things she believed in.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"University of Illinois Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44984206688309,"sku":"ByrdShop_0252065433","price":29.97,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780252065439_6c87aebe-cebc-44e2-a75d-376e1fa25686.jpg?v=1778813584","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/in-a-generous-spirit-a-firstperson-biography-of-myra-page-9780252065439","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
