[Bloor, Ella Reeve]. Native Daughter: The Story of Anita Whitney. [San Francisco: Anita Whitney 75th Anniversary Committee, 1942.]
Small 8vo.; few pages lightly darkened; green cloth, stamped in green; covers lightly used.
First edition of this biography of communist organizer Anita Whitney.
From the library of Mother Bloor, with her 1942 ownership signature on the front endpaper; beneath is a gift inscription from Bloor: "July 22, 1942. To ‘our own’ little ‘Native Daughter’ for her 17th Birthday Anniversary. Carol Jean hold aloft the same banner, that has been born so valiantly by the older ‘Native Daughter’ Anita Whitney."
Carol was Bloor’s second child, but her first with her second husband, socialist Louis Cohen, whom she married in 1897. After their separation in 1902, Bloor devoted herself to her political activities and frequently involved her children in these, bringing them along on speaking engagements and the like.
