Small octavo (19.5cm); publisher's olive printed wrappers; 94pp. Covers rather chipped and curled, faint soil to bottom textblock edge, spine cocked, else Good to Very Good overall. Text entirely in Finnish. Proletarian novel by Helmi Mattson, among the more prominent Finnish-American women leftists of the interwar period. Born in Finland, Mattson emigrated to International Falls, Minnesota, married, then relocated to Astoria, Oregon, where she edited the important Finnish women's periodical Toveritar. She later moved to New York, where she edited the Finnish-language Communist organ Eteenpäin (see Kostiainen, Finns in the United States, 2014). The current work, dating from Mattson's Astoria period (ca 1920-1930), is uncommon; OCLC notes three copies only as of February, 2020, at Library of Congress, U. Minnesota, and Lakehead U. (Canada).
