        "alt": "“Goddess of Anarchy: The Life and Times of Lucy Parsons, American Radical” a 2017 biography by historian Jacqueline Jones:\n\nShe felt no hesitation in demanding that the men remove their hats and treat women in the audience with courtesy: \"Are there not some Chesterfields in the audience who are gallant enough to give up their chairs to the ladies?\" Still, in other cases her demand for respect from the crowd took an unexpected turn, as when she demanded angrily of one woman, \"Put out that crying baby.\" She sought to disabuse those who believed her black dress was in fact widow weeds, saying that she favored the color because it was flattering on her. (Indeed, she displayed no sense of false modesty, sending the New York World a picture of herself to refute the idea that all anarchists were \"so hideous\" that they could cause every watch in the hall to stop.) She was, in fact, a walking contradiction in terms, mesmerizing rapt admirers and hard-bitten reporters alike. In Allegheny, Pennsylvania, she allowed herself a melodramatic moment, and with tears running down her cheeks pictured for the crowd her husband bound and with a noose around his neck; but then,\n\"pausing for a moment] she turned to her followers on the stage, and in an entirely different tone said, 'Get ready to take up the collection.”",
