Goddess of Anarchy: The Life and Times of Lucy Parsons, American Radical is a biography of Lucy Parsons written by Jacqueline Jones and published by Basic Books in December 2017.
Reception
The book was generally well received. Kirkus Reviews says the biography was "comprehensive and fair, though a little more warmth toward Parsons would have made the book more engaging."[1] Jones admitted in an interview with the New York Times that she wanted to portray a more nuanced image of Parsons than her previous biographer, Carolyn Ashbaugh, who wrote more positively about Parsons.[2]
