Description
Boxcar Bertha: A Raging Slab of Real American History This autobiography offers a raw and unvarnished look at the life of Bertha Thompson, a woman who lived by her own rules in the wilds of Depression-era America. Her story is one of hard-living and misadventure, filled with encounters with pimps, hopheads, murderers, and other rough characters. Bertha's narrative is marked by its brutal honesty, revealing a woman who took pleasure in her experiences and showed a remarkable range of sympathy for those around her. This vivid account is part of the Nabat series, which reprints forgotten memoirs by outsiders and rebels. A new afterword by Barry Pateman provides context on the background of the book and its author, Dr Ben Reitman.
