Grace Verne Silver - feminist, socialist, freethinker


Read her early feminist fiction stories

Read her dramatic Correspondence May - Sept. 1934

During the Summer of 1934, Grace fled her husband to the supposed safety of Alaska, only to find herself (and her lover) stranded there by the Longshoreman's Strike of '34. Perilously close to starvation, Grace's only solace were the letters she and Queen exchanged. (Unless otherwise noted, all letters are from Grace to Queen.) May 1934 | June 1934 | July 1934 | August 1934 | September 1934
