Meridel Le Sueur - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Taken from the introduction-Written by Linda Ray Pratt:
"As a member of the 'Workers Alliance', Le Sueur worked on behalf of the
women she met during the Depression. In her note about the creation of
The Girl, she tells us that she was part of a writers' group that,
"met every night to raise our miserable circumstances to the level of sagas,
poetry, cry-outs."
"The novel is divided between those who embrace life and protect it and those who violate life and repudiate the bonds of community."
I must thank Ourcrazymodern?, for recommending this read.
Towards the end of the book, we took turns reading aloud to each other,
over the phone.
