Description
The Girl by Meridel LeSueur is a powerful and poignant novel that transports us to the head of a young woman struggling to survive in 1930s America. Against the backdrop of poverty, desperation, and state violence, this story explores the ways working-class women keep each other alive and seed transformational change through self-organized systems of mutual aid.
Written in the vernacular of the era, The Girl is a testament to Meridel LeSueur's unique literary voice. Her prose is both authentic and poetic, as she transforms common street talk into exquisite refrains that will resonate with readers today.
This revised edition, published by Midwest Villages & Voices in 2022, includes a new foreword by Margaret Randall and an afterword essay by one of Meridel's great-granddaughters. A powerful and important work, The Girl is a story that was silenced for too long - now it's time to hear its voice.
