"This edition of the first part of Elizabeth Gurley Flynn's autobiography has been reedited in accordance with her wishes. She has prepared the manuscript during very trying times. Her trial under the Smith Act took place in Foley Square, New York, in 1952. In the years immediately following, she was engaged in the exhausting processes of appeal and defense, not only in her case but on behalf of the many Communist leaders who were victims of that though-control prosecution. She began serving her sentence at the Federal Women's Reformatory at Alderson, West Virginia in January 195 and was not released until May 1957. The book first appeared, under the imprint of Masses and Mainstream, in November 1955. While in prison she was not permitted to see the proofs (nor the book when it appeared). She thus had no opportunity to make final corrections before publication. Fortunately, Miss Flynn left among her papers a marked copy of the book, in which she noted some corrections. These have been included in the present edition. ..." - from the Editor's Note
