Book Description

"Amherst, NY": Prometheus Books. 2000. Cloth in lightly rubbed dust jacket. Very good. "291pp. [+viiipp. b/w plates], index. When she was seven and a half years old, Queen Silver stunned laymen and scholars alike by delivering a series of lectures on topics such as Darwinian evolution and Einstein's theory of relativity. At fourteen, she defended her fiery socialist mother, Grace Vern Silver, in criminal court and won! No wonder Cecil B. De Mille used her as a model for his 1929 film ""The Godless Girl."" She matured to become an international feminist, atheist, and socialist, living a remarkable and inspiring life, of which few feminists today are aware. QUEEN SILVER is a passionate and profound biography of one of America's most amazing feminist, socialist, and freethought thinkers. Silenced for a time by the brutal repression that led to the McCarthy gearings, Queen's legacy has been all but lost to posterity. Here, Wendy McElroy rediscovers and chronicles the incredible life of Queen Silver from personal interviews, published reports, letters, and a vast library of the family's personal papers. The last secction of the book includes several reprints of Queen's early articles and lectures she delivered well into her eighties."
