[Superior, WI: Tyomies Societyn Kirjapainossa, 1926]. First Edition. Small octavo (19cm); pictorial card wrappers; 101pp. Covers slightly shelf worn, rear wrapper a bit dust-soiled, else Very Good and sound. 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 five locations only (Northern Michigan, Minnesota, Tulsa, Washington, and York University (Canada)).
