Lucy Eldine Gonzalez Parsons (c. 1853 – March 7, 1942) was an American labour organizer, feminist and radical socialist. She is remembered as a powerful orator.
Personal note: Her early days are difficult to pin down. It is believed she was born into slavery, although she said she was born to Mexican & Native American parents.
She led the first May Day parade in #Chicago in 1886, and also unionized the city’s only female workers organization at the time, Working Women’s #Union No. 1 (WWU).
She was feared & revered for her ability to organise, and in the words of the Chicago police she was “more dangerous than a thousand rioters.”
