A Woman of Compassion: The Life of Voltairine de Cleyre by Chris Crass

I cd swear I reviewed this already.. but, apparently not - given that no review appears to be here. Anyway, Voltairine de Cleyre was an anarchist & this small pamphlet only gives the briefest of introductions to her. Nonetheless, I learned more than I had previosuly & this might just prompt me to delve deeper.
