Produktbeschreibung
Daughter of Earth by Agnes Smedley is a hauntingly intimate portrait of one woman's struggle for identity, freedom, and survival. Through the life of Marie Rogers, Smedley crafts a semi-autobiographical tale set against the harsh realities of poverty, class divisions, and political unrest. From the suffocating confines of a working-class childhood to the passionate search for purpose and independence, Marie's journey is told with raw honesty and quiet power. With prose that is at once lyrical and uncompromising, Smedley reveals the resilience of the human spirit and the heavy price of defiance in a world determined to silence women's voices. Daughter of Earth is not only a deeply moving coming-of-age story, but also a stirring testament to endurance, independence, and the timeless search for meaning in an unjust world.
Autorenporträt
Agnes Smedley (1892-1950) was an American journalist, writer, and activist whose fearless voice challenged the boundaries of her time. Born into poverty in Missouri and raised in Colorado and Arizona, she rose from hardship to become one of the most provocative literary and political figures of the early twentieth century.Best known for her semi-autobiographical novel Daughter of Earth (1929), Smedley combined literary talent with a deep commitment to social justice. She lived and worked in India, where she supported the struggle for independence, and later in China, where she became one of the most influential Western correspondents covering the Chinese revolution.Her life was as dramatic as her fiction-marked by passion, exile, and unyielding dedication to the causes of freedom and equality. Today, Smedley is remembered not only as a groundbreaking novelist but also as a courageous voice for the marginalized and oppressed.
