Trust Adam Hochschild to unearth one of history’s forgotten heroines. Russian immigrant Rose Pastor Stokes spent her first years in America in a sweatshop, only to skyrocket to the upper class when she married an heir. It’s a classic Cinderella story: that is, if Cinderella converted her prince to socialism, became an antiwar and labor activist, promoted birth control access, and was dubbed “one of the most dangerous influences of the country” by a President. Hochschild will be joined by Monika Bauerlein.
