The Rebel Girl (Hazel Dickens)Maryland - Communist Party
| The Rebel Girl (Hazel Dickens) The begining of this video, is an audio narrative by Elizabeth Gurley Flynn, with images of her, as well as a quote of hers about women in the IWW This Narative is commonly used on recordings to introduce the song "The Rebel Girl" in which Joe Hill dedicated to Elezabeth Guley Flynn. The second part, is the song "The Rebel Girl" Writen by Joe Hill, and performed by Hazel Dickens. I have used images of women who were (or are) members of the IWW. Only two were "supporters" and not members of the IWW (Emma Goldman and Charlotte Anita Whitney) Emma Goldman: Well known anachist writer and feminist, took part in the IWW free speech fight during the first world war. Helen Keller: Mostly known for her disability, was an active member of the IWW and influential feminist. Grace Silver: Mother of once famous actress Queen Silver. Active organizer in the IWW Grace and Queen Silver were influental supporters of evolution, and athiests. Lucy Parsons: Wife of Albert Parsons a haymarket Martyr, organizer for the IWW and Communist Party. Judi Bari: Radical enviromentalist, feminist, and member of the IWW and Earth First. Victom of a failed assasination, later died of cancer. Mother Jones: Helped form the IWW in 1905. One of the most well known organizers, and active socailists of the day. She would most likely be annoyed that liberals have a magazine named after her. Lesbia Harford: She was a well known poet in Australia, and a member of the Australian contingent of the IWW Amelia Siblich X;b>...X;/b> |
| The song entitled "The Rebel Girl" is very inspiring for a lot of women. I am amazed of the lyrics which pertains to a lot of courageous women in the history. The quote given by Elizabeth Gurley Flynn for women is very inspiring. Hazel Dickens is truly a wonderful performer. She had delivered the song with courage and the very thing that struck is her strong voice. We should be proud for being a woman. |
