"""... a thought-provoking book about a courageous woman hitherto neglected by our historians.""-- ""Herizons, Spring 2008"" ""This is a particularly fine example of the biographer's art and a worthwhile contribution to the literature on 20th century feminism and radicalism, as well as to the political history of Canada and China. It is a truly outstanding achievement.""-- ""North Dakota Quarterly, Spring 2007"" ""This book is a captivating and exemplary rendition of the life of Neilsen. The explicit uses of varied sources, the detailed political analysis, as well as the keen attention to personal relations, collective solidarity, and social injustice, are praiseworthy and original contributions to historical scholarship.""--Kathleen Lord, Mount Allison University ""Left History, 14.1"""

A sympathetic biography that is not afraid to ask the difficult questions or ponder the contradictions posed by the extraordinary life of an exceptional woman on the left. -- Franca lacovetta, University of Toronto, author of Gatekeepers: Remaking Refugee and Immigrant Lives
