Synopsis

From factory floors to the heart of a social movement, a powerful true story of persistence and change.
This is the autobiography of Adelheid Popp, a working woman who rises from poverty in late 19th‑century Vienna to become a recognized socialist leader. It candidly portrays daily life in a crowded factory, the costs of balance between motherhood, marriage, and public duty, and the quiet courage it takes to speak up for others. The book offers a clear window into the struggles and sacrifices of women who built a movement from the ground up.

- Experience the realities of forced long hours, tight budgets, and shared meals in a working community.
- See how self‑education, resilience, and solidarity shaped a woman’s path to public leadership.
- Learn how personal life, health, and family responsibilities intersect with political work.
- Understand the social and historical context that gave rise to organized labor and women’s rights movements.

Ideal for readers of historical memoirs, social history, and biographies that illuminate the lives behind a broader movement.

Présentation de l'éditeur

Leopold Classic Library is delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive collection. As part of our on-going commitment to delivering value to the reader, we have also provided you with a link to a website, where you may download a digital version of this work for free. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. Whilst the books in this collection have not been hand curated, an aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature. As a result of this book being first published many decades ago, it may have occasional imperfections. These imperfections may include poor picture quality, blurred or missing text. While some of these imperfections may have appeared in the original work, others may have resulted from the scanning process that has been applied. However, our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. While some publishers have applied optical character recognition (OCR), this approach has its own drawbacks, which include formatting errors, misspelt words, or the presence of inappropriate characters. Our philosophy has been guided by a desire to provide the reader with an experience that is as close as possible to ownership of the original work. We hope that you will enjoy this wonderful classic book, and that the occasional imperfection that it might contain will not detract from the experience.

Présentation de l'éditeur

Mr Unwin for the publication of this book. She had come across it in its original German ;she knew Frau Popp, whose hard life it unveils, and I well remember how both the story and the woman captivated her. She was to have written this introducm tion, but that was one of her many projects that will have to be carried out by others or remain altogether undone. She was in correspondence with Frau Popp when she died, and some of the material which I shall use came to her after her eyes were closed for ever and her heart could respond no more to earthly things. If it be that she still follows our interests, I know nothing will please her more than that this tale of the struggle of her friend should be given to English readers, associated with her name and memory.
