Jones and "Colonel" Ida Craft marched 250 miles at the head of their all-volunteer platoon, advancing from New York City to Washington, DC in the dead of winter, in what was believed to be the longest dedicated women's rights march in American history. Along the way their ragtag band of protestors overcame violence, intimidation, and bigotry, their every step documented by journalist-embeds who followed the self-styled army down far-flung rural roads and into busy urban centers bristling with admiration and enmity. At march's end in Washington, more than 100,000 spectators cheered and jeered Rosalie's army in a reception said to rival a president's inauguration. This first-ever book-length biography details Jones's indomitable and original brand of boots-on-the-ground activism, from the 1913 March on Washington that brought her international fame to later-life campaigns for progressive reform in the American West and on her native Long Island. Consistently at odds with conservatives and conformists, the fiercely independent Jones was a prototypical social justice warrior, one who never stopped marching to her own drummer. Long after retiring her equal rights army, Jones advocated nonviolence and fair trade, authored a book on economics and international peace, and ran for Congress, earning a law degree, a PhD, and a lifelong reputation as a tireless defender of the dispossessed"-Provided by publisher"-- $c Provided by publisher. 600 10 $a Jones, Rosalie, $d 1883- 600 17 $a Jones, Rosalie, $d 1883- $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01827524 650 0 $a Suffragists $z United States $v Biography. 650 0 $a Feminists $z United States $v Biography. 650 0 $a Women $x History $z United States $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Feminism $z United States $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Women's rights $z United States $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Demonstrations $z Washington (D.C.) $x History $y 20th century. 650 7 $a Demonstrations. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00890222 650 7 $a Feminism. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00922671 650 7 $a Feminists. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00922831 650 7 $a Suffragists. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01137197 650 7 $a Women $x Suffrage. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01176996 650 7 $a Women's rights. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01178818 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 651 7 $a Washington (D.C.) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204505 648 7 $a 1900-1999 $2 fast 655 7 $a Biographies. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919896 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 941 $a 2 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20210721014446.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20201103021633.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=9A08ABACA55F11EAA027EF1497128E48 994 $a 92 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
