Anna Louise Strong story
Anna Louise Strong (1885-1970) was one of the leaders of the Seattle General Strike in 1919 and an early advocate of communism. Although she left the United States just as the Communist Party was starting, her return visits from the Soviet Union and later from China and her many popular books kept her in the public eye throughout her long life.

In 1919, workers in Seattle staged the first general strike in the United States. Sixty thousand union men and women walked off their jobs in shipyards, bakeries, restaurants, and lumber mills. This five day citywide shutdown was an important first step in establishing the power of the worker, and it has helped to define the way that Seattle and the nation value equitable wages and living conditions for its hardest working citizens.
