Born to campaign: The Life Story of Rita Weiss 1921-2011
Edited and with an afterword by Claire Weiss
Manifesto, £11.95
AFTER a decade of austerity, with continuing attacks on working people, the need for inspiration seems greater than ever. And Born to campaign offers Morning Star readers precisely this.
The book tells the inspiring story of a working-class activist, told in her own words, edited with loving care by her daughter-in-law, Claire Weiss.
Rita Weiss started life as Rita Hodas, the eldest in a second-generation family of Jewish immigrant garment trade workers.
