Writing the Wrongs: Eva Valesh and the Rise of Labor Journalism. By Elizabeth Faue. (Ithaca: Cornell University Press, 2002. xiv, 249 pp. $35.00, ISBN 0-8014-3461-0.)

Eva Valesh's name is familiar to historians of the Gilded Age and Progressive Era labor movements. She forged a national reputation as a Populist orator and labor publicist and worked as an organizer and investigative journalist. Although she was involved in some of the most important Progressive Era struggles, including the 1910 shirtwaist makers' uprising, we know little about her background and career. Eva Valesh slipped into historical obscurity in part because she left no significant body of private papers and because much of her public writing was unsigned. Through dogged research to uncover the scattered remaining sources, Elizabeth Faue recaptures this important figure and seeks to draw larger meanings from her life and career about class and gender politics of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.
